From Rainer Honeck's facebook: "Apart from the collaboration with Christoph Waltz, there was another rare "historical" aspect to the performance of Fidelio: I had the opportunity to make music with my brother Rainer [concertmaster of the Wiener Philharmoniker] (who graciously and spontaneously stepped in for our concertmaster, who fell ill) and my son Matthias!"
I'm curious about this Fidelio, as I both appreciate Waltz as an actor & have heard about his directing ambitious for a while... can anybody recommend it? Or did it try too hard to be smart (I saw some previews which worried me)? Please do respond with your thoughts!
