Anyone Reloaded Symphonic with Philipp Hochmair
Premiere: For the first time with orchestra in the Große Festspielhaus

"Austrian high culture meets Dresden Ostpunks." - Philipp Hochmair

"For me, the confrontation with classical literature is a great pleasure and almost acts like a body drug. Hugo von Hofmannsthal's Everybody is so well composed, clear and important. I recommend it to everyone, because we like to forget that the clinging to the material is not the content of life. With only an hour left to die, it's time to test your faith. I think this analysis brings the piece to life for the audience, "says Philipp Hochmair, who plays all roles in his Jedermann.
2013 founded the actor with Tobias Herzz Hallbauer the band "The electric hand of God". In a rock version, they continued the Jedermann research. Now they are facing the next level with Elisabeth Fuchs and the Philharmonie Salzburg: Jedermann reloaded in an orchestral version.
A continuation of the essential and eternal questions:
What did I do meaningful things? Who am I? Why I'm here?

Two questions for the conductor and music dramaturge of Jedermann Reloaded Symphonic - Elisabeth Fuchs:
How will language, music and rhythm interact in the staging?
Language has a certain musicality which can be felt and heard. Especially the sounding text of Jedermann can be heard and played through like a score. That is what makes the piece so tangible. That would not be possible without Hofmannsthal's poetic language rhythm. Of course, music plays a very important role because it underlines the sound.

Everyone reloaded with the electric hand of God is heading for rock concert. Which part does the Philharmonie Salzburg take on in the symphonic version?
It is our task to touch with the music and to create reflective moments in the staging. We give Hofmannsthal's words and characters an even deeper effect through specially selected music. For example, when Jedermann is left alone by everyone, we will play "Lacrimosa" from Mozart's Requiem, or when the devil enters, we will play Giuseppe Verdi's "Dies irae". I am particularly looking forward to the moment when we will play Gustav Mahler's “Urlicht” with Christa Ratzenböck as a kind of performance music for faith. But I don't want to reveal more now, it will definitely be a touching and highly energetic evening!
