The composer makes it sound like it appears in his imagination. The opera director takes the opposite route and makes it appear like it sounds. When the two come together – what great fortune!" The German opera director Michael Hampe (b. 1935) lives and acts according to this motto. He is one of the world's leading opera directors with productions in London, Paris, Milan and Tokyo, as well as at the Salzburg Festival. Published on the occasion of his 80th birthday, this book brings together a compendium of speeches, letters and essays on musical theatre spanning a lifetime.
