Palestrina
Musical direction: Giacomo Sagripanti
Production, stage design, costumes, lighting: Herbert Wernicke
The central theme in Pfitzner's Palestrina is the mystery of artistic inspiration. Pfitzner sees the anchoring of the creative artist in his own inner world, which stands in sharp contrast to the hustle and bustle of external reality, as a prerequisite for this. Against the backdrop of the Council of Tridentine, the legend of the Renaissance composer Palestrina is told, who, in a creative ecstasy, creates the masterpiece in one night with which he saves an entire musical tradition from destruction.
