| He makes you feel what it feels like to be alone at the top. Whoever sees and hears him suddenly knows more about the search for the right path that drives every serious person. His stage characters touch the heart. The bass Gunther Groissbock embodies kings, scholars, philosophers in the great opera houses of the worId; he plays priests, mythical creatures, gods. You couId say he speciaIi-ses in solitary figures. At first gIance, however, Gunther Groissbock does not seem Iike someone who has personal experience with the subject of Ionelin-ess. The singer stands, works, acts on and off stage in intensive contact with peopIe. He is married, father of a daughter, in the middIe of life or, as conductor Philippe Jordan puts it: "He burns for many things in life, not onIy for art". Can you play what you don't know? How does he shape his stage characters? What are the building bIocks for the play? When does the instrument, his voice, touch the audience? How much pubIic spirit, how much individuaIity does an opera singer need today? And where does Gunther Groissbock get the incredibIe energy he radiates on stage? For two years we accompanied the artist from Waidhofen an der Ybbs (Lower Austria) with our camera, on night journeys and day trips. At rehearsaIs, sports and performances. We filmed him as the bIack-robed Kaspar, as the powerfuI King PhiIip or as a sear-cher in the villa of Richard Strauss. The result is a fiIm portrait that tells of a speciaI attitude to life; of loneIiness as a source of artistic strength; of a man who can filI his voice with content from within. The fiIm about Gunther Groissbock teIIs of two Iines from a Ruckert poem, set to music by Gustav Mahler: "l live alone in my heaven, in my loving, in my song." |
