An ode to life
Mozart's unfinished 'Requiem' as a visually stunning and stirring scenic meditation on disappearance and transience. Complemented by lesser-known sacred works by Mozart, the funeral mass in Romeo Castellucci's production is transformed into a celebration of life. In ritual-like choreographies, the choir and a group of dancers merge into the energy center of the evening. Falling victim to Corona in the 20/21 season, the now internationally acclaimed co-production with the Festival d'Aix-en-Provence and the Adelaide Festival is finally coming to Basel. Ivor Bolton, chief conductor of the Basel Symphony Orchestra, is on the podium.

Eine Ode an das Leben
Mozarts unvollendetes ‹Requiem› als bildgewaltige und aufwühlende szenische Meditation über das Verschwinden und die Vergänglichkeit. Ergänzt mit unbekannteren geistlichen Werken Mozarts, verwandelt sich die Totenmesse in der Inszenierung Romeo Castelluccis in eine Feier des Lebens. In ritualhaften Choreographien verschmelzen der Chor und eine Gruppe Tänzer:innen zum Energiezentrum des Abends. In der Spielzeit 20/21 Corona zum Opfer gefallen, kommt die mittlerweile international gefeierte Koproduktion mit dem Festival d’Aix-en-Provence und dem Adelaide Festival endlich nach Basel. Am Pult steht Ivor Bolton, Chefdirigent des Basler Sinfonieorchesters.
