Since its founding in November 1912, the Deutsche Oper Berlin has been one of the internationally most important venues for the music theater of Richard Wagner. As early as 1914, the house on Bismarckstrasse was one of the first German theaters to put this work on the schedule after the end of the Bayreuth term of protection for Wagner's PARSIFAL. For the centenary of the Deutsche Oper in October 2012, the festivities were crowned with a PARSIFAL new production. General Music Director Donald Runnicles collaborated with director Philipp Stölzl for the first time.
In the free poetic handling of motifs from various legends, the Christian and Buddhist religion as well as Schopenhauer's world of ideas, Richard Wagner created his own PARSIFAL, a new, new myth. The desire for salvation accompanied Wagner himself for decades, in the PARSIFAL he was the issue of private and social salvation on an artistic level with particular intensity. A strong leader is desired, society is to be renewed. But even the appointment of the new ruler of Parsifal is just another step in the repetitive, frozen ritual of power. Philipp Stölzl puts questions about the potential for aggression and fanaticism of hermetic religious communities at the center of his analysis of Wagner's stage deer festival. An anti-Enlightenment world view, belief in miracles and a violent demarcation of outsider figures like Kundry are themes that are reflected in opulent tableaux on a journey through time through millennia.
Philipp Stölzl began his career in 1988 at the Munich Kammerspiele as a stage designer and costume assistant u. a. by Jürgen Rose and Ezio Toffolutti. As a freelance stage and costume designer, he worked with directors such as Armin Petras and Thomas Langhoff. From 1997 he made music videos for the Austrian production company doro, where he made his breakthrough with Rammstein's "You smell so good". There followed videos for Westernhagen, The Doctors, The Dead Pants, Madonna, Mick Jagger, Luciano Pavarotti. At the same time he realized commercials for Sony, BMW, Nokia and Rolex. In 2001, Stölzl directed the first feature film "Baby, a tragicomedy". In autumn 2008 his movie "Nordwand" was released. With the staging of Weber's FREISCHÜTZ Philipp Stölzl made his debut in Meiningen in 2005 and caused a sensation as an opera director in the following years at the Ruhrtriennale and the Salzburg Festival, at the Theater Basel, at the Stuttgart State Opera and at the Staatsoper Berlin. After DER FLIEGENDE HOLLÄNDER at the Theater Basel and RIENZI at the Deutsche Oper Berlin, Stölzl continued PARSIFAL's exploration of the music theater of Richard Wagner.
