Elisabeth Navratil’s staging of Die schöne Müllerin by Schubert transforms the song cycle into a true dramatic poem. The brook becomes a water spirit, embodied by actress Marguerite Chauvin, guiding the miller—sung by Edwin Fardini—on his descent toward death. Adrien Lefébure, dressed in black as the hunter, also represents Death, intensifying the tragic arc. Pianist Vincent Laissy brings the miller’s emotional landscape vividly to life. A sensitive and poetic interpretation of a cornerstone of German Romanticism.
