Arnold Schoenberg's
Pierrot Lunaire

John Celona, Conductor / Producer

Pierrot Lunaire is costumed, staged, and illuminated with sets, props and special effects in collaboration with the Phoenix Theatre Department. Students in the School of Music at the University of Victoria give its musical performance.

John Celona's vision of Pierrot Lunaire, as a piece of music theatre, is a projected black Cabaret with Expressionist overtones (cf., Fritz Lang’s film “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari” - more fantasy than expressionism, some say). Its beautiful music, a music from a past of which its present predicted a brave, new atonal future, is rendered a sentimental, passionate and lyrical interpretation. As in “Dr. Caligari”, I wanted to explore a perceptual and psychological balance within watching a musical performance and dreaming it. The music, alone and by itself, is a breakthrough in early twentieth century music language; its resonance is still prominent and significant today.
