Crime under Duress

Summary/Abstract: The Bride of Lammermoor at the Bayerische Staatsoper is Barbara Wysocka's second production for a Munich stage, following Wozzeck at the Kammerspiele. This tale of an incapacitated woman who falls victim to social dependencies is the point of departure for one of the best known belcanto operas. Frederike Felbeck opines that, as opposed to other threadbare interpretations, the director has managed to reinvigorate the dramatic material in an interesting fashion. He calls attention to the major role of Barbara Hanicka's set design in creating the surreal scene for Lucy's fate to unfold, which the director places in the context of the conservative, restrictive, asexualhigh-society America of the 1950s and 60s.
