Cornelius MeisterAbout
“…The surprising scenes by Gia Forma, the costumes by Mariana Fracasso and above all the decisive video edited by D-Wok compete to the strong impact of one visionary show but always intelligible and engaging. The intricate structure of the score is conveyed with admirable clarity and stylistic understanding by the conduction of Cornelius Meister, obtaining a superb performance from the orchestra and choir instructed by Lorenzo Fratini. …Despite the vocal wear and tear, Dietrich Henschel embodies Faust with excavated phrasing and great acting skills…” – La Nazione Firenze
“The credit goes to the director Cornelius Meister: his is an accurate reading, which untangles Busoni’s score with clarity and continuous tension.” – Corriere Fiorentino
“…It is a sort of work-autobiography. Therefore in staging it, Davide Livermore portrays the legendary characters as stand-ins of the musician himself: a psychoanalytic game of mirrors, reflected in a marvelous set apparatus in turn made of walls of mirrors onto which to project real objects, such as Faust’s library, or emotional geometries of lights, skies, constellations.” – Corriere della Sera
