Collaboration with the Swiss director Christoph Marthaler, which began in 2010 with the premiere of Beat Furrer’s music theatre work Wüstenbuch (Klangforum Wien) has since then become a constant in Tora Augestad’s artistic life. Meine faire Dame, Marthaler’s reply to My Fair Lady, which after its success in Basel was taken up by Naples, Avignon, Edinburgh, and Paris, was followed by the Verdi homage Lo Stimolatore Cardiaco.
