Documentary screening
A screening of two contrasting one-hour documentaries to tie in with
the APO’s upcoming concertante performance of Tristan und Isolde in
August:
Do I Hear the Light? (2007), a film about Nikolaus Lehnhoff’s
celebrated production of Tristan at Glyndebourne, England (also
featuring the Swedish mezzo, Katarina Karnéus, the upcoming APO
concert’s Brangäne); and
Carlos Kleiber – I am Lost to the World (2011),
an ambitious German-made film about the enigmatic conductor, with
his special take on Tristan running through the film like a leitmotif.
(Kleiber’s 1980–82 studio Tristan counts among the top recordings of
the opera and is regarded by many as his single greatest achievement.)
