production
The play by Friedrich Schiller was staged by Friedo Solter at the Deutsches Theater Berlin in 1979 and resumed in 1984 after the house was reconstructed. The recording of the production was broadcast for the first time on Friday, March 27, 1987 (prologue; Wallenstein's camp and Die Piccolomini) and on Sunday, March 29, 1987 (Wallenstein's death) from 8:00 p.m. on the second program of GDR television. Both programs were interrupted at 9:30 p.m. for the current camera and continued at 10:00 p.m.
The prologue was spoken by Eberhard Esche in formal dress, standing in front of the stage curtain. Many of the main characters also play the soldiers of the camp.
criticism
Rainer Kerndl wrote at the premiere in the daily newspaper Neues Deutschland : “Not a piece of history is drilled, not the actions and attitudes of historical figures are judicially and morally questioned and judged according to the meaningful or reprehensible of their actions. The historical itself, the dialectic of individual demands in the field of tension between socio-political reality becomes an art event. "
At the premiere in the Neue Zeit on October 2, 1979, Helmut Ullrich also dealt with the stage sets by Lothar Scharsich, which generously correspond to the dimensions of the event, create open spaces for scenic movement, with stairs, platforms, galleries, and different levels of power Empty and narrow, with standards set up, with astrologers' station and early baroque pomp, with gloom and brightness, and - for once there is nothing under a starry sky but a signpost, nailed with many directional signs.
After it was broadcast in the daily newspaper Neues Deutschland, the dramaturge Alfred Nehring deals with audience reactions to the television program of the production and writes: “The production by Frido Solter was attested to shine and intellectual fascination even after it was resumed in the reconstructed house in 1984. On two evenings television has now broadcast the performance to an audience of millions "and quotes from a letter from a viewer to television:" 'I thank GDR television for the generous opportunity to once again experience such a great staging by the German theater' "And further:" The big political game, which is about power and the historical chance of a personality, but above all about ending a war and about lasting peace, casts its spell on the audience on the screen as well as in the theater.
