Vincenzo Bellini La Straniera 140 min HD It was in 1968 when she made her de-but as Rosina at the National Theater in Bratislava 45 years later the great Edita Gruberova sang Bellinis rarely perfor-med opera La Straniera at Vienna Mu-sikverein The brilliance of her voice and her techniques enchanted the audien-ces and lead to standing ovations ndash the same success as after the debut-perfor-mance of her Straniera at Philharmonie im Gasteig in 2012
Gioacchino Rossini La Cambiale di Ma-trimonio 80 min HDThis early masterpiece of Gioacchino Rossini speaks as a prelude to other Rossini one-act operas and foresha-dows what is to come in his later works strong stage instincts and a psychologi-cal understanding of his characters The intimate setting of the Vienna chamber opera is particularly well suited to un-derline this brilliant oeuvre

voices of the actors Pegah Ferydoni and Samuel Finzi Numerous special features like an interactive map the ldquomusic machinerdquo by the American music animator Stephen Malinowski or interviews with leading Wagner ex-perts add up to a complex image of this controversial composer

Swiping Through Wagnerrsquos Life
When Richard Wagner died on 13 Fe-bruary 1883 in the arms of his wife Cosima not only the life of one of the greatest musical geniuses of all times ended but also a biography of fraud evasion adultery anti-semitism and a bizarre relationship with King Lud-wig II Who was Richard Wagner
WAGNER FILES ndash The App (produced by gebrueder beetz filmproduction funded by Medienboard Berlin-Bran-denburg Media MDM) approaches this question on a new level and ex-plores exciting new ways of storytel-ling by the fusion of animations vi-deos historical letters music scores and photographs Wagner is experi-enced in a completely new light
Wagnerrsquos life is told in the manner of a Graphic Novel spread out over 41 pages with 240 animated ima-ges 60 minutes of original Wagner music and around 40 historical do-cuments are embedded in the nar-rative which the user can access via interactive points The user decides how he wants to experience the sto-ry reading it by swiping through the pages ndash or listening by activating the
voices of the actors Pegah Ferydoni and Samuel Finzi Numerous special features like an interactive map the ldquomusic machinerdquo by the American music animator Stephen Malinowski or interviews with leading Wagner ex-perts add up to a complex image of this controversial composer
