Special Projects
Theater an der Wien is not only a place of historical significance where the masterpieces of Mozart and Beethoven were born, but also a place where classical opera performances continue to come to life.
Recording, especially as perfect as today's, allows us to stop time and watch all the best. We can watch outstanding performances from past seasons together. Immerse yourself in the world of music and art in Vienna.
Concerts by the Greco-Russian conductor Theodor Currentzis and his orchestra musicAeterna often resemble a sacred act and performance rather than just brilliant interpretations of music, invariably becoming vivid events in the musical world. On our screens, you can enjoy Theodor Currentzis's concerts featuring the great music of Mozart, Beethoven, and other composers.
The special project TheatreHD presents a large retrospective of the outstanding theatrical director and video artist Boris Yuhananov.
"The Renaissance Man," "one of the last titans of art," a director and Shakespeare scholar – this is all about him: Franco Zeffirelli, the theater, opera, and film director, screenwriter, producer, and artist. His legacy is immense, his classical style is crystal clear, and his attention to detail is astounding – his productions have been on theater billboards for 20, 30, and 40 years. In our special project "Zeffirelli-100," you can get acquainted with the Maestro's classical productions because each of them is a celebration of color, life, passion, and music!
In the TheatreHD special project, the most significant premiere of the decade unfolds. Richard Wagner's tetralogy takes the stage at the Berlin State Opera Unter den Linden in Dmitry Chernyakov's production - a daring experiment of bringing the majestic myth into the real world.
Behind the names of gods and heroes are the people of the 21st century, still influenced by the 20th. In this cycle of four operas, a family saga intersects with dystopia, psychological thriller meets drama. A contemporary epic in all its grandeur and splendor.
There are artists who, as if knowing how little time they have, create at full throttle, accomplishing so much in unfairly short lives. Such was John Cranko, the "golden boy of world ballet," who lived only 46 years but left behind a vast and beautiful legacy.
TheatreHD presents a collection of performances from the annual opera festival in Bregenz, renowned for its floating stage on Lake Constance. The vast space allows for the most fantastical scenery to unfold above the water, and the set designers working on Bregenz productions traditionally give free rein to their creativity, whether it's a giant moving clown head in "Rigoletto," the vividly recreated traditional Japan of the 19th century in "Madama Butterfly," or the combination of grand video projections with intimate spaces in the rarely performed opera "Siberia" by Umberto Giordano.
A vast collection of innovative reinterpretations of classics by Dmitry Chernyakov.
