The Scene and the Unseen Opera in Pictures Photographs by Monika Rittershaus

Edited by Iris Maria vom Hof

Photographer Monika Rittershaus is regarded as an inspiring interpreter of today’s opera in all its diversity, opulence, and drama, but also in its human profundity, uniqueness, and veracity. As a highly sensitive observer, she looks out over the on-stage activity, uncovering gentle, touching, and peripheral moments. In her highly stringent visual compositions, Rittershaus depicts in a personalized and decisive way many influential directors and operas such as: DAS RHEINGOLD, Richard Wagner, Los Angeles Opera (2009), director: Achim Freyer COSI FAN TUTTE, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Salzburger Festspiele (2020), director: Christof Loy TANNHÄUSER, Richard Wagner, De Nationale Opera, Amsterdam (2019), director: Christof Loy CARMEN, Georges Bizet, Oper Frankfurt (2016), director: Barrie Kosky SALOME, Richard Strauss, Bolshoi Theatre, Moscow (2021), director: Claus Guth ELEKTRA, Richard Strauss, Staatsoper Hamburg (2022), director: Dmitri Tcherniakov IPHIGÉNIE EN TAURIDE, Christoph Willibald Gluck, Opernhaus Zurich (2020), director: Andreas Homoki CENDRILLON, Jules Massenet, Opéra National de Paris Bastille (2022), director: Mariame Clément.

This is the catalog for the show at the Palazzo delle Esposizioni, which is devoted to face, voice, costume, Pasolini’s relationship with women, and mockery.
