A musical journey through two worlds – rediscovering Wolf‑Ferrari

An evening for sound explorers and history lovers: On the 150th birthday of Ermanno Wolf‑Ferrari, the Wolf‑Ferrari House in Ottobrunn presents a vibrant stage experience between Venice and Bavaria. The event sheds light on the biography, works, and impact of the great opera composer – told succinctly, musically framed, and set in a harmonious theatrical atmosphere.

Between Lagoon and Isar: The dramaturgy of an artist's life

The evening's presentation follows the inner dramaturgy of Wolf‑Ferrari's career: From early successes in Commedia‑lirica to the maturity of chamber music. Concise moderations trace milestones, while selected musical examples make the arcs of tension audible. Thus, narrative and sound intertwine into a scenic reading – a chamber play of music history.

Scenery in the mind: Light, sound, memory

Without extensive decoration, a suggestive stage setting is created from language, projection, and acoustics. Dimmed light, clear wording, and purposefully placed music quotes create intimacy. The costumes take a back seat in favor of the acting and presentation – the direction trusts in the imagination of the audience.

Audience reaction: Intimacy that touches the heart

When musical miniatures meet precise dramaturgy, intimacy grows: One can hear Wolf‑Ferrari's fine irony, his lyrical warmth, and his timing between comedy and melancholy. The audience experiences how Ottobrunn becomes a biographical resonance space – a place where traces of life and music intertwine.

Context and classification: Professionally founded

The moderation locates Wolf‑Ferrari in theatrical history: Successful operas such as 'Il segreto di Susanna' and the roots in the tradition of Opera buffa meet the Munich and Ottobrunn years. Press reviews and research condense the picture – a well-founded look at composition technique, libretto work, and reception history.
