Why no one thaught to film the David Hockney opera productions for posterity, other than the Rakes Progress, is beyond me. For God's sake it's David Hockney!
Saw it in Los Angeles circa 2006, I think. Shattering! I couldn’t believe there’d ever be a better production of this opera, but the one at the Met… well, it more than competes.
I come back this video every so often. I tear up every time I hear this music. Wonderful images also, Hockney would be a natural for this magical opera. Thank you for posting this.
Ihr Gatten in den Häusern dieser Stadt, liebet einander mehr als euer Leben und wisset: Nicht um eures Lebens willen ist euch die Saat des Lebens anvertraut, sondern allein um eurer Liebe willen! Ihr Gatten, die ihr liebend euch in Armen liegt, ihr seid die Brücke, überm Abgrund ausgespannt, auf der die Toten wiederum ins Leben gehn! Geheiliget sei eurer Liebe Werk!
Must see "The Colors of Music" (German: "Die Farben der Musik") the documentation of this Frau ohne Schatten stage by David Hockney. What a pleasure to watch compared with eurotrash Salzburg 2011.
Leave it to Hockney to stage a production of Die Frau ohne Schatten in which the colors all “meant something”.... Fans of the artist could do worse than examine this knowing exquisse, “What About The Caves” [1991], painted by the artist and for the artist, currently up for sale by Sotheby’s, which can be read as an inside comment on the production’s aesthetic: www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/2019/contemporary-art-evening-auction-l19022/lot.31.html

Ihr Gatten in den Häusern dieser Stadt,
liebet einander mehr als euer Leben
und wisset: Nicht um eures Lebens willen
ist euch die Saat des Lebens anvertraut,
sondern allein um eurer Liebe willen!
Ihr Gatten, die ihr liebend euch in Armen liegt,
ihr seid die Brücke, überm Abgrund ausgespannt,
auf der die Toten wiederum ins Leben gehn!
Geheiliget sei eurer Liebe Werk!
This is one of the most dazzling and moving items I've ever seen!!!
