Korngold’s #Heliane in Essen was a truly cathartic process. Half of the time I didn’t know how I’d manage. One day I felt great, the next day I didn’t know what I was doing.. 
I kept going, page by page, scene by scene - And suddenly the role took over. A thing I hadn’t experienced in that way before.
As Elisabeth and I peeled away through layers or romance, we uncovered an exceptionally courageous, powerful woman, who ended up giving me, her interpreter, the strength to sing her. Amazing.. 🧡❤️‍🔥

So here’s a little photo story of what happens:

She gives her feet to a condemned revolutionary. Out of compassion. Next he’ll ask for her whole body and she shows it to him - yes, I have to strip. Another challenge, which proved much smaller than the musical one actually ☺️

She feels empathy for all humans who suffer and wants to save him and his message of happiness and joy for the oppressed people.

She gets caught naked and is put in front of a trial of 7 (!) judges.

She gets another 5 min alone with the prisoner, who kills himself, to save her. 🤷‍♀️

Her husband, the dictator tries to get the last bit of information out of the prisoner. Then he tells Heliane the only way for her to live is to resurrect him.

She thinks about it - and drinks some water..

She sees the oppressed people enter the court and realises she can’t help them, or herself.

She keeps trying to address them but they're all traumatized

The people treat her like a saint and express their expectations in her to save everyone.

She hears the voice of the dead revolutionary, giving her comfort, so she attempts the resurrection. 
Come to Essen, to see if she succeeds..! 🧡
