LEADING TEAM
The tenor and director who was born in Bonn, Germany, but has chosen to move to Vienna, has built up a considerable reputation as an opera director, especially in the German-speaking world.
His humility towards the composer, his openness, versatility and philosophy as a director, which sets the main focus on pure acting, make him an ideal partner for this project.
Manfred Waba is one of the most prominent stage designers in Austria, especially know for his work at open-air projects. His creativity and love for detail impress audiences and critics alike. Waba is a master at using his designs to emphasize the atmosphere of a production.
His work often has often broken world records, for example the world's largest violin in Mörbisch or many gigantic stage sets for Oper am Steinbruch in St. Margarethen.
Born in Carinthia, Jessica studied dance and music in Vienna. She is a valued, regular partner of stage director Dominik Am Zehnhoff-Söns because of the variety of styles she has on offer and because of her deep understanding of classical music.
As a dancer and choreographer, she has repeatedly been successful at national, European and world dance championships.
