| Golden Wagner and the Taboo on Nazism Orests Silabriedis Stefan HERHEIM (1970) was born in Oslo, made his debut in the world of theatre with his marionette productions, studied under Friedrich Götz at the Hamburg Music Academy and graduated with a production of Mozart's Die Zauberflöte. He now lives in Berlin, working as stage director in Germany, Austria (at the Volksoper Wien), Estonia, Sweden, and Norway, and now in Latvia, too. He lectures at the Academy of Opera in Oslo. In Riga he's working on Richard Wagner's Das Rheingold, which will also be shown in May this year at the Bergen Festival. Stefan Herheim grew up in a musical family (his father was a musician with the opera orchestra in Oslo), and he himself played the cello, but already at an early age he developed an interest in drama, in the musical aspect of drama, and in opera. "The cello was an opportunity for me to enter the world of musical structures. I didn't change from music to directing. Rather, the allure of musical theatre gave me the impulse to play the cello". |
