The New York Times report about “Theater an der Wien”.
“The question of how to keep Mozart fresh is certainly topical [in Vienna] this year, and at the Theater an der Wien in particular.” The music house, which was recently converted to accommodate full time opera use, would seem to be a superfluous venue in a city chock full of performance spaces. But Theater an der Wien “wants to present cutting-edge directors and interesting productions, to attract a different kind of audience. [The] theater’s three main focuses will be Baroque opera, which has not really had a performance space in Vienna; contemporary opera (he is commissioning three new works for coming seasons); and of course Mozart.”
