Visions – Music of Dante’s Divine Comedy

The Renaissance-period vocal music written for Dante's Divine Comedy was presented in electronic sound spaces and video projections. The fascinating contrast between these expressive forms was the basis for a reinterpretation of one of the world's greatest literary works. Headed by the artistic director Claudia Eder and the Munich video artist Christoph Brech, this project featured a performance at the Kammerspiele Mainz and the chamber opera of Rheinsberg Castle. The composer Peter Kiefer developed a room-sound installation in the hall which the audience could enjoy a half an hour prior to the performance.
