THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA – A PARABLE OF A WORLD IN A DREAM AND IN REALITY
PLAMEN KARTALOFF, STAGE DIRECTOR OF THE PRODUCTION: In the search of always new horizons with a repertoire, which is long since on the stages of the world theatres, you see that this title thirtythree years after its creation, will be produced on Bulgarian stage too. Well-deserved, its place is at the Music Theatre, already with tradition of different musicals by Andrew Lloyd Webber. The interesting for me as stage director is the audacity to give a new reading for really new stage life to this music and stage masterpiece also in the genre of the musical, after my productions of “Black Mask” by Domenico Modugno, “Fiddler on the Roof” by Jerry Bock, “Candide” by Bernstein, “Vlastitutka” by Ralin-Leviev, “Sunset Boulevard” and “Mamma mia!”. And now, like always in my work on the analysis and the visualization of the scores of every composer, whether Wagner with the tetralogy “Der Ring”, “Tristan und Isolde”, “Parsifal” or whichever work from the French, the Italian and the Russian opera treasury, my task is to find a creation in my own and quite new director’s aspects and messages of the work to the audience. “The Phantom of the Opera” is a masterly work, in which Webber shows his absolute skill in the complex tasks of the music and stage form of the opera. Not only in his composer’s power and understanding of the ambivalence of the theatre, which has to be created out of it, but also in managing of the virtuosity and the vocalism of the roles. >>> to page 2 >>>
