• ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE

  World premiere of an open-air commissioned opera based on the ancient, mystical legend of Lake Grundlsee.

  As a crossover project of this year’s Aussee Baroque Days, the world premiere of the commissioned opera “The Water Sprite of Lake Grundlsee” will take place, coinciding with Bad Ischl Salzkammergut’s year as European Capital of Culture 2024, and focusing on the theme of “Salt and Water.” The story is based on the ancient, mystical legend of the discovery of salt deposits in the Aussee region. The captivating plot involves a water sprite who is caught in a fishing net and, upon leaping back into the water, points towards Mount Sandling, where the region’s salt deposits were discovered. The libretto also includes a dramatic account of the formation of the Aussee landscape, which millions of years ago was covered by a sea that left behind fossilized ammonites, salt, and water.

  The opera’s renowned composer, Vanni Moretto, who has already successfully staged several of his operas in Europe, will conduct the performance himself. The opera’s main roles will be performed by young artists from the Mozarteum University Salzburg in a collaboration with the university. The chorus will consist of talented local singers. Andreas Weirich, stage director and director at the Bavarian State Opera in Munich, will direct the production. The set design is by Magdalena Hofer (Salzburg), and the costumes are by Larissa von Planta (Switzerland, Salzburg, and London). This open-air project will premiere three times on the shores of Lake Grundlsee: Sunday, August 11; Monday, August 12; and Tuesday, August 13, at 8:30 p.m. at the Archkogl outdoor swimming pool (alternative date: August 14 or Narzissendorf sports hall).
