About

Calixto Bieito’s controversial but visually stunning production of Wozzeck is set in a grisly, chaotic, post-industrial maze, giving a contemporary edge to the disturbing and hairraising intensity of Alban Berg’s expressionistic masterpiece.

The all too human drama is emphasised, with terrifying beauty, by the stupendous cast of singing actors with the Orchestra and Chorus of the Gran Teatre del Liceu, producing a strong, relentless musical experience under the inspired baton of maestro Sebastian Weigle.

A controversial new production from Calixto Bieito, director of the hard-hitting and potent Don Giovanni, from the Liceu.

Wozzeck: Franz Hawlata
Marie: Angela Denoke
Drum Major: Reiner Goldberg

Musical Director: Sebastian Weigle

Recorded live at the Gran Teatre del Liceu, Barcelona in January 2006

The quite sensational Chorus and Orchestra, revealed a worldclass theatre company, with a conductor London should book soon. Sebastian Weigle read the score with suavity, so that it seemed as if Wozzeck was more than a little influenced by Mahler; and how thankful I felt for that ingratiating, mellow and fierce sound!
