Dear Classical Music Lover,

Normally we would present to you our latest programmes in Prague at Golden Prague or in Cannes at MIPCOM. But since neither of them will take place, we have come up with a new "format" and from now on we will regularly inform you about all our new programmes with our "Unitel Premieres" magazine.

These past months have been special for all of us and we are proud that our partners have managed to put together a truly extraordinary line up of new programmes despite Corona:

First and foremost, the Salzburg Festival has proven what is possible with its groundbreaking security concept and created the "Miracle of Salzburg" for its 100th anniversary: more than 25 programmes of the highest quality, both musical and cinematic. We are presenting highlights on the next pages, the complete listing is in our special catalogue, available on our homepage www.unitel.de

But also the Arena di Verona, the Rossini Opera Festival, the Teatro Massimo, the Bergen National Opera and the Grafenegg Festival have found creative solutions to present themselves to the audience.

Soloists such as Cameron Carpenter, Daniel Barenboim or András Schiff, or orchestras like the Wiener Symphoniker and Munich Phil took advantage of the break and offered us special concerts for the camera. Just like in March, when the Theater an der Wien reacted quickly and transformed the opera house into a film studio for Christoph Waltz’s Fidelio.

We hope that with your help many of these great programmes will reach the largest possible audience!

Sincerely yoursUnitel

In the 100th year of the famous Salzburg Festival, this high-quality docu-fiction offers a glimpse of the dramas and unknown events that took place backstage, from its founding in 1920, through Hitler's seizure of power to the Karajan era and also a look at the present. Unknown film material from 30 archives worldwide and numerous private films show new facets of the festival. The scenery of the plot is Schloss Leop-oldskron, where the key figures in the history of the festival meet for a special dinner. Their dialogues are based on authentic statements of the historical characters. A highly elaborate cinematic journey through time with a top-class cast of film and theatre actors, above all Florian Teichtmeister as the servant of Max Reinhardt‘s dinner party.

The renowned stage director Max Reinhardt was known as the “magi-cian” of the theatre. For Salzburg he developed the dream of a great festival for the genres of theatre and opera with the genius of Mozart as its driving force. Exactly 100 years after the founding of the Salz-burg Festival, the film traces the roots of the festival on the basis of Reinhardt’s autobiographical sketches. Numerous well-known actors report anecdotes from 100 years of the Salzburg Festival and their own experiences with the institution. Among the stars are Senta Berger, Klaus Maria Brandauer, Peter Simonischek, Veronica Ferres, Cornelius Obonya and Tobias Moretti. But also the life and work of Max Rein-hardt are the subject of the documentary, which is accompanied by the sound of the Mozarteum Orchester Salzburg and the Wiener Phil-harmoniker.

The film by Chris Weisz portrays the world’s largest classical music festival and traces its incredible rise: From its beginnings as a peace project after the First World War, through the myth of the Jedermann (Everyman) to the present day. What makes the Salzburg Festival so special and unique? Answers are provided by the festival organizers and some of the most internationally renowned festival artists – including Tobias Moretti, Daniel Barenboim, Teodor Currentzis, Anne-Sophie Mutter or Peter Sellars.

On the occasion of Beethoven’s 250th birthday none other than Austrian actor and Oscar-winner Christoph Waltz has been engaged for the stage direction of the new production of Fidelio at the Theater an der Wien. There, at one of the oldest opera houses in Vienna, Ludwig van Beethoven was what one would call today a composer-in-residence. And he was this in two respects: here he lived for two years in an apartment in the wing of the build-ing. And it was here that he premiered many of his most famous orchestral works, symphonies and his only opera: Fidelio. Two of the three versions were first heard at the Theater an der Wien, in 1805 and in 1806.In his third opera production Waltz brilliantly stages the second version of the opera in the breathtaking set designed by the German-American architectural practice Barkow Leibinger. The abstract staircase landscape in the form of a double helix, symboli- zing prison, extends space into the back theatre and is infinitely changeable in the cinematic lighting concept of Hollywood

regular Henry Braham. Manfred Honeck at the rostrum of the dynamic Wiener Symphoniker leads a superb and versatile cast of “vocally oustanding” (Der Standard) singers: Nicole Chevalier, claimed by Die Zeit as “one of the currently most exciting opera singers”, bewitches vocally and dramatically on her stage debut as Leonore, Eric Cutler gives Florestan a powerful voice. Christof Fischesser, Gábor Bretz, Mélissa Petit, Benjamin Hulett and Károly Szemerédy complete the strong ensemble. But the production, which was sold out months before, never saw its stage premiere, as the Theater an der Wien sadly had to shut down due to the Covid 19 pandemic a few days before. Thanks to an incredible effort by all participants, the opera house was converted into a film studio at short notice so that Christoph Waltz’s “convincing production” (Die Zeit) of Beethoven’s flaming musical plea for freedom and humanity could be preserved for posterity.

Waltz, an Oscar-winning actor in his third stint as opera director, creates a realist but understated dramatic tone that is well-suited to the camera.

The Rossini Opera Festival in Pesaro brings a delightful new production of Rossini’s early work La cambiale di matrimonio (The Marriage Promissory Note) on stage. Particularly noteworthy is the excellent young cast, mainly young singers from the Pesaro-based Accademia Rossiniana, one of the most successful talent facto-ries in Italy. “Giuliana Gianfaldoni, Carlo Lepore, Davide Giusti, Iurii Samoilov, as well as Pablo Gálvez and Martiniana Antonie in the smaller parts please with lean, profound voices and a mature ensemble performance that can only be achieved with careful rehearsal work”, applauds Der Tagesspiegel. The plot of La cambi-ale di matrimonio, based on patterns of the Commedia dell’arte, is quickly told: A greedy, foolish old man wants to marry his daugh-

ter to a rich American against her will. The latter, however, unex-pectedly takes the side of the unhappy young woman, appoints her penniless lover as his heir and thus sets the course for a happy outcome. Rossini’s comic farce is stylistically audibly influenced by Mozart, rich in beautiful melodies and ensemble scenes, but with his lively parlando style and several strettas already a typical Rossini. The 42-year-old Russian Dmitry Korchak, who is also a regular Rossini tenor in Pesaro, appeared here for the first time on the conductor’s podium, outstanding above all his handling of the recitatives. Laurence Dale, who came to Pesaro for the first time as a stage director, also provides an appealing aesthetic.

19KARAJAN

In 2019 – on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of his death on 16th July – the world will remember one of the great conductors of the 20th century: Herbert von Karajan, who is represented in the Unitel catalogue with nearly 50 hours of music recorded at the peak of his artistry. Karajan’s association with Unitel has produced such musical treasures as the complete cycle of Beethoven’s symphonies with the Berliner Philharmoniker, Franco Zeffirelli’s legendary 1965 Bohème production from La Scala, the Verdi Requiem with the young Luciano Pavarotti, Jean-Pierre Ponnelle’s filming of Madama Butterfly with Mirella Freni, Plácido Domingo and Christa Ludwig,

and many other great productions.

The Unitel catalogue also contains numerous award-winning documentaries on the life of the maestro and pioneer of music recording, such as Robert Dornhelm’s “Beauty As I See It” or Eric Schulz’s “The Second Life”.

(1908 – 1989)
