From the world of the Golden Apple - The Cast & the Roles

Gods, humans, fire – and entire nations: the ensemble of ‘Il pomo d'oro’ takes on 47 roles, including such extraordinary figures as fire itself or allegories of entire peoples such as Austriaca or America. 20 soloists bring this world to life – and the sense of wonder begins the moment you start counting.

Anyone wishing to discover all the characters and their meanings will find what they’re looking for in the Festwochen Magazine, due out next month: it describes all the roles and their respective soloists. But you can get a first impression right now – some of the cast have sent us their greetings in advance. This alone gives a sense of just how international the artists are who are coming to Innsbruck for a month and a half this year, living and working here, and then transforming themselves on stage into gods, humans and so much more.
