Carmen at Glasgow
Dane Lam will be conducting the Scottish Opera’s new production. Here’s his reaction when he saw our new parts:
“This is a fantastic new edition, really well put together! In the past when I have performed Carmen, the orchestral parts have always been a great source of consternation and angst for conductors and players – is that a minim, we might say to each other, while puzzling over the score, or is it a crotchet? In a world where rehearsal time is a precious commodity, it is a gift to glance half an eye at the pages in front of you and know exactly, in the moment, what Bizet intended – which was not always possible with the pre-existing parts.”
“Mauser triptych” at the Mecklenburg State Theatre
First page of “Bruchstücke” (autograph P.-H. Dittrich)
On May 27th a musical collage staged by George Dittrich and conducted by Martin Schelhaas will be premiered at the theatre’s new venue “M*Halle” in the south of Schwerin. For the MAUSER triptych after Heiner Müller’s drama works by Johann Sebastian Bach and Luigi Nono are combined with “Bruchstücke” by Paul-Heinz Dittrich. For the first performance of Dittrich’s ensemble piece we prepared the materials from his rather challenging handwriting.

Number Nine IX: Number Nine
A rather atypical page from the almost two hundred page score.
Lately Moritz Eggert has been so prolific that we can hardly keep up with producing the performance materials from his scores. His latest work for large orchestra, choir, 6 actors, music journalists, singing composer and video recordings, will be premiered in Bonn on 20th of August. What it is or is not about is best explained by him in this text (in German) on the Bad Blog of Musick.
