| DW: You've hired a dramaturg for the company, Wolfgang Willaschek, and you want to schedule longer rehearsal periods. Can you talk about why those changes are important?
PR: One thing that I find interesting is people say, "Oh, well, all the stars here [in the U.S.], they won't do that." And I say, "All those people do all these productions over there [in Europe]." Susan Graham rehearses a long time over there, Tom Hampson rehearses a long time over there, and they don't object to it because the work needs that. If a director is really working with the singers on a suggestive level, and really pulling performances out of them, I think you need a longer time. (interview with Pamela Rosenberg) |
