About
For the first time on Blu-ray!
Staged by: Peter Stein
Fie rrabras of 1823 is the last of Franz Schubert’s stage works. Rarely performed to this day, this heroic-romantic opera has now been staged for the first time ever at the Salzburg Festival by famous director Peter Stein. The strong cast includes the “marvellously expressive miracle Dorothea Röschmann” (Die Zeit) and “Michael Schade, who exudes his exceptional tenor in Fierrabras’s heroic arias” (Der neue Merker). Under the energetic baton of lngo Metzmacher, the Vienna Philharmonic unfold “the melos, the poetry, the sweetness and the dramatic force of Schubert’s highly refined and atmospheric sound worlds” (Kleine Zeitung) in highly romantic fashion. Bonus: The Making of Fierrabras.

...the Vienna Philharmonic supplying focused playing under Ingo Metzmacher, and several worthwhile principal performances, especially from Georg Zeppenfeld’s firm Karl, Michael Schade’s engaged Fierrabras, Benjamin Bernheim’s efficient Eginhard, Dorothea Röschmann’s passionate Florinda, Julia Kleiter’s conflicted Emma and Markus Werba’s emphatic Roland

This performance of Fierrabras…persuades me more than ever that we need more Schubert opera in our lives… The cast is fantastic… This Fierrabras remains well worth exploring, and potentially the window to a whole new side of Schubert.
