DIRECTOR’S NOTE

....

Schubert wrote Die Winterreise in 1827 at the age of thirty, a year before his death. Many observed Schubert to be in a melancholy frame of mind when he wrote the songs. Some even considered that Die Winterreise contributed to his early death: “life for him had shed its rosy colour; winter had come for him,” wrote his friend, the poet Mayrhofer. Others believed Schubert had moved to a stage of life that juxtaposed hopeless fatalism with blissful serenity.

However Schubert himself displayed a state of joy and ecstasy while performing the cycle for his friends – it was the joy of being able to express his own tragedy. To express his own inner state.

I first listened to Die Winterreise in 2008. I was sitting alone, in an empty house, in the middle of summer.

The music aroused recollections in me I found difficult to confront and painful to articulate. This was the music’s power. Schubert had investigated his soul while writing the music and this becomes contagious to the listener. It led me to grapple with the German word ‘sehnsucht’ – searching for ‘I know not what’.

My first imagining for this production was of an elderly figure (somewhat like the organ grinder in the final song) who uses Schubert’s music in a similar way. He listens to the story of ‘the wanderer’ in Die Winterreise to confront himself.

In the song cycle, ‘the wanderer’ leaves his lover in the middle of the night, writing goodnight on her door, and ventures into a winter landscape. It is a

story of exile, and a story of searching for a new home, for a place to be accepted, for a way to exist.

As our nameless, elderly figure listens to the song cycle, he associates his own history with the journey of ‘the wanderer’. The music enters him, both physically and emotionally, as his past begins to taunt, seduce, and confront him.

Finally, it may be in the act of finding his own song; in a moment of confession with himself, that he can find some rest. That after journeying through himself, he also can find a way to continue existing.
