From the Deutsche Oper Berlin, which has been making a splash with ambitious new productions such as Korngold's "The Miracle of Heliane" and Zemlinsky's "The Dwarf," comes the stage video of "Antichrist," a church opera composed in the early 20th century by Danish composer Luz Lango (1893-1952), who has recently been gaining momentum for revaluation. Antichrist", a church opera composed by Danish composer Luz Lango (1893-1952) in the early 20th century. This "Antichrist" is based on lines from "Antichrist" written by the Danish author Pieter Eggert Benson based on the New Testament, and written and composed by Lango himself ("Antichrist" refers to the false Christ who is said to appear at the end of time). However, it was not until the end of the 20th century, almost half a century after the composer's death, that the work was premiered as an opera (1999, Tirol State Theatre, conducted by Nils Muth). The singing team for this production includes outstanding young ensemble members of the Deutsche Oper Berlin, such as Thomas Lehmann as Lucifer and Furulina Stucki as the Grand Whore, as well as veteran singers with excellent vocal performances, such as Clemens Biber (Big Mouth), a regular at the Bayreuth Festival.The orchestra and chorus of the Deutsche Oper Berlin, led by the brilliant Stefan Zilias, who will be the general music director of the Hanover State Theatre from 2020, will perform a richly aesthetic, shadowy, and lush music, while Ersan Monták, whose innovative stage design has attracted much attention, will perform androgynous characters in costumes and camouflaged grotesque leotards. The characters, dancers, and chorus members in grotesque androgynous costumes and camouflaged leotards perform comical gestures and singing. (Naxos Japan)
