Siegfried Idyll
As the snow fell during February this year, Berwaldhallen commissioned Andrew Staples to make a film with the Swedish Radio Symphony of Wagner’s Siegfried Idyll. Together with SRSO Music Director Daniel Harding, Staples imagined the piece as a heartwarming love letter not from a composer to his wife but from the players of the SRSO to their absent audience.
This production is part of one or more concert series.
Siegfried Idyll is the third film project Berwaldhallen has created with Andrew Staples and Daniel Harding, after Mozart’s Don Giovanni in June 2020 featuring Peter Mattei and Malin Byström, and Bach’s St John Passion.
Staples himself says that the film “tries to capture the aching desire of an entire cultural organization that is reaching out into its environment to connect with its audience across the temporary digital divide. Our aim is to bring the audience closer to the players, to their art, skill and passion while, for the time being at least, the auditorium remains empty.”
