The Art of John Neumeier - Death in Venice From the Festspielhaus Baden-Baden, 2004 Lloyd Riggins (Gustav von Aschenbach, Master Choreographer), Laura Cazzaniga (His Assistant, his Mother, Tadzio's Mother), Ivan Urban (His “Friedrich der Gro?e” ), H?l?ne Bouchet (His “La Barbarina") & Elizabeth Cooper (piano) Hamburg Ballett Choreography, Staging and Lighting Design: John Neumeier
John Neumeier's free adaptation of Thomas Mann's novella Death in Venice for the marvellous dancers of the Hamburg Ballett walks a fine line between astute theatricality and melodrama, between brilliant passages of movement and banal gestures. The primary message is that the life of an artist - even a famous, successful one - can be hell unless he's in creative touch with his inner child, his emotions.
