For seven seasons, opera and theater director Jossi Wieler led the Stuttgart Opera House. During this time, the Stuttgart ensemble and repertoire operations transformed into a widely admired and award-winning total work of art. Time and again, there were astonishing and delightful theatrical representations of classic operas and world premieres in musically groundbreaking interpretations. Composers and directors, singers, conductors, and set designers are featured in this volume, as well as the staff behind the scenes. Renowned authors pay tribute to individual artistic events. The centerpiece is a long series of images that showcases all premieres in double-page spreads. A calendar of all events and a directory of all contributors from this era complete the volume.
