Musically embraced, the story is accompanied by the great music of German Romanticism from Felix Mendelssohn and his sister Fanny, motifs of wanderers from Franz Schubert, and Viennese as well as Italian dance music. Original songs from the novella underscore the events.:::ORIGINAL PRODUCTION OF THE MUSICSUMMER BAD SCHALLERBACH:::Word & TonePhilipp Hochmair: RecitationPeter Gillmayr: 1st ViolinKathrin Lenzenweger: 2nd ViolinChristoph Lenz: ViolaJudith Bik: CelloAdmission: € 48.00 - Half-price pass is not valid!Tickets available at the Bad Schallerbach Tourist Office 07249/420710, tickets@musiksommerbadschallerbach.at or Ö-Ticket.http://www.musiksommerbadschallerbach.at/ From the novella “From the Life of a Good-for-Nothing” by Joseph von Eichendorff (1788-1856) from the year 1826“If I am a good-for-nothing, then that's fine, I will go into the world and make my fortune”A miller sends his son, whom he calls a good-for-nothing because he makes him do all the work alone, out into the wide world. Cheerfully, the son takes his violin and leaves his village without a clear goal in mind.The one driven by wanderlust travels from Vienna to Italy and then back to Germany. Along the way, he encounters whimsical fellow spirits and his true love.The main work of late German Romanticism, which first appeared in full exactly 200 years ago (1826), deals with, among other things, the contrast between moralizing Philistines and “lazy” life artists.While Goethe’s “Italian Journey” is a conscious observation and self-cultivation, Eichendorff represents a programmatic non-perception.In deliberate distance to the Protestant notion of a God only testified in word, Eichendorff allows the hero to experience God’s grace in experiences of nature, the course of the journey, and biographical providence directly, with scenes of temptation (seduction, sensuality, Italian milieu) demonstratively not ending in sin, but in unshakable trust in God and moral integrity.Philipp HochmairPhilipp Hochmair is an Austrian film, television, and theater actor. He studied acting at the Max Reinhardt Seminar in Vienna and at CNSAD in Paris (1993-1996). Besides his work in film, he is especially known for his stage work at national and international theaters, where he has taken on many classical roles in a modern “post-dramatic” style, including Hamlet, Mephisto (Goethe's Faust), and Werther (based on Goethe's epistolary novel “The Sorrows of Young Werther”).Among his many roles, Hochmair gained significant attention with the monologue “Everyman Reloaded” based on Hugo von Hofmannsthal’s play “Everyman.” In this one-man show, he takes on more than 20 roles, musically supported by his rock band “The Electrohand of God.”With his solo projects (“Everyman Reloaded,” “Schiller Ballads Rave,” “The Hagestolz,” among others), he has created a cross-genre music-theater format, for which he was honored in 2024 with the Cross Over Special Prize of the Austrian Music Theater Prize.His spontaneous appearance as Everyman for the ailing Tobias Moretti at the Salzburg Festival in 2018 caused a sensation. Since summer 2024, Philipp Hochmair has been very successfully the new “Everyman” at the Salzburg Festival under the direction of Robert Carsen. The production has received international acclaim.
