Preview of the 2013 Salzburg Festival ( Gawain )
Preview of Salzburg’s Gawain • Harrison Birtwistle
One of the performances I’m most looking forward to at this year’s Salzburg Festival is Harrison Birtwistle’s Gawain, in a Alvis Hermanis production, conducted by Ingo Metzmacher, and featuring the ever strapping and striking Christopher Maltman. Here are some photos (below the jump) of the production (courtesy Salzburg Festival, © Ruth Walz) which will premiere today, June 26th. Ionarts will report next week.
