“Mozart22” is an enterprise of utterly unique dimensions,
the musical project of the century: all of Mozart’s stage works
presented over the course of six weeks during the 2006
Salzburg Festival. The project brought together the greatest
Mozart singers, conductors, stage directors and ensembles
of the day. To make this extraordinary artistic achievement
accessible to a broad public, the entire “Mozart22” cycle
was recorded with the highest-quality HD technology and 5.1
Dolby Digital sound.
The cycle also includes 20 one-hour documentaries
containing excerpts from rehearsals, interviews with artists,
and background reports that shed light on the meticulously
elaborated, multi-layered concepts of the musical
interpretations and stage productions. The programs introduce
the work in question and situate it in Mozart’s œuvre. Each
documentary is devoted to one opera, whereby the shorter
works and fragments are bundled. All the operas, of course,
are available from UNITEL CLASSICA.
In addition to providing valuable insights from the artists,
the documentaries also bear witness to the incredible logistic
achievement of the Mozart22 project. At the peak of the
project, about 160 people were working on it nearly around
the clock. Fifty thousand meters of cable were laid out in
seven venues in Salzburg. Parallel to the recording crew
of the opera cycle, who required up to twelve cameras for
each recording, the documentary filmmakers scurried from
rehearsal stage to hotel lounge, from artists’ canteen to makeup studios in their mission to capture the unique dynamics
and electrifying atmosphere of this undertaking – a project of
superlatives and a landmark in media and music history.
