About Handel: Admeto
Axel Kohler, the internationally renowned countertenor has brought Admeto into the modern era in timeless style by the skillful application of imaginative theatrical digressions. Köhler's production at the Halle Opernhaus revisits a work that encompasses comedy, tragedy and almost absurd grotesqueness, couching it in the convincing metaphor of a modern hospital.
Directed by Axel Köhler, Ute Feudel, Handel: Admeto leans on a strong ensemble — Matthias Rexroth, Romelia Lichtenstein, Mechthild Bach — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about music titles of 2006.
