| About the project |
|
Arthur Schnitzler’s “Reigen” as a “drama with music”: Together with Regina Fritsch and Sven-Eric Bechtolf, the Musicbanda Franui immerses itself in a new musical atmosphere in each of Schnitzler’s ten scenes: The maid from Bohemia walks hand in hand with Gustav Mahler; in the “Chambre séparée”, Erik Satie tinkles away; the poet’s recitations are accompanied by the sounds of John Cage; and in the marital bedroom, an aria by Giuseppe Verdi drifts in as a reminder of the Italian honeymoon. And whenever it comes to sexual intercourse – where Schnitzler succinctly reduces it to just three dashes – the music plays.
Regina Fritsch, speaker (the girl of the streets, the parlor maid, the young wife, the sweet young miss, the actress)
Sven-Eric Bechtolf, speaker (the soldier, the young man, the husband, the poet, the count)
Michael Rothschopf, speaker (stage direction)

| Regina Fritsch, born in Lower Austria in 1964, trained at Krauss Acting School in Vienna. She has been a permanent member of the Burgtheater ensemble since 1985, bears the title of Kammerschauspielerin and has been a holder of the Alma Seidler Ring (the female equivalent of the Iffland Ring) since 2015. Besides her theatre work, Regina Fritsch frequently appears in film and TV productions. She has received numerous awards, including the Nestroy Theatre Award in the Best Female Actor category in 2008. Fritsch’s portrait for the new gallery in the Burgtheater was painted by Maria Hahnenkamp in 2008. |

| Sven-Eric Bechtolf |
|
| Sven-Eric Bechtolf studied at the Mozarteum Salzburg in Austria before starting his career as an actor, collaborating with the foremost stages of Germany and Switzerland; besides he had many engagements at the Burgtheater Wien for several years. He received the Nestroy Prize of Theatre as “actor of the year” in 2002 and 2003. In 2007 he was honoured with the Albin Skoda Ring. Bechtolf began working as a stage director in 1993 and was invited to a Theatre Meeting in Berlin with his second piece of work Der Streit/ La Dispute by Marivaux. His first staging of an opera production was Alban Berg’s Lulu in Zurich, which laid the foundation for engagements at other major stages, such as Richard Wagner’s Der Ring des Nibelungen at the Vienna State Opera and the Mozart/ Da Ponte-Cycle at the Salzburg Festival. In 2006 he publishes his book Vorabend (preliminary evening), a very individual approach to Wagner’s Ring. In 2012 the Salzburg Festival appointed him as new theatre director. In 2015 and 2016 he was the Festival’s artistic director. In 2016 he was decorated with the Ring of Honour of the city of Salzburg and the Cross of the Order of Merit for services to Austrian culture and science. Since 2016 he has been working as a freelance actor and director and lives with his familiy in Leipzig. |

| Musicbanda Franui |
|
Franui is the name of a mountain pasture close to the small village of Innervillgraten, located at 1,402 meters above sea level in East Tyrol in Austria, where most of the Franui musicians grew up. The Musicbanda of the same name have been playing together in nearly the same lineup since 1993 and are frequently invited to perform at major festivals and venues throughout Europe.
Their adaptations of lieder by Schubert, Schumann, Brahms and Mahler have earned Franui renown beyond the borders of Austria. The ensemble regard themselves as a “transformer station between classical music, folk music, jazz and contemporary chamber music;” sometimes the original is lovingly celebrated in all its beauty, at others it is turned upside up (or down), stripped down to its bare bones, enhanced, painted over, elaborated, in a process that blurs the boundaries between interpretation and improvisation, between arrangement and (re)composition. For their live shows and music theater productions Franui frequently collaborate with other exceptional performers, including baritone Florian Boesch, puppeteer Nikolaus Habjan, Viennese song-duo Die Strottern, comedian duo Maschek, actor Nicholas Ofczarek, etc. |
