A production of the Neuköllner Oper and the Stegreif Orchester with Juri de Marco and Ulrike Schwab.
In record time, the Stegreif Orchester has become a leading protagonist for innovative concerts - a pool of 30 cross-genre musicians* who love the heritage of classical music as much as free improvisation, jazz and other styles.
Our Giovanni was not so much another production of the world-famous opera as an expedition into the alchemy of the myth, the magic of Mozart's music and the creativity of the 22 performers.
I was involved in this production as orchestra & ensemble coach, arranger and instrumentalist of the Stegreif Orchester Berlin. An inspiring experience and artistic border crossing. A correction of assumptions of the possible in Opera and its creation processes.
