in cooperation with CLASSICA Germany TV Director: Felix Breisach / Stage Director: David Pountney - 161'

Performing Arts (Music and dance programmes, including live concert recordings
Synopsis
Continuing its tradition of unearthing little-known or forgotten operatic works of the 20th century, the Bregenz Festival trained the spotlight in 2010 on the Polish-Russian composer Mieczysław Weinberg’s “The Passenger” – and obtained an unparalleled success with this rediscovery.
Born in Warsaw, Weinberg (1919–1996) fled to the Soviet Union when the Nazis attacked Poland; he lost all his family in the concentration camps. As a composer, he was influenced by Dmitri Shostakovich, his friend and mentor. Written in 1967/68, the opera “The Passenger” – based on the novel by Zofia Posmysz – could not be staged in the Soviet Union during the composer’s lifetime due to its controversial subject matter.
