The Salzburg Festival has just opened in Austria with the production of Idomeneo directed by the rock star of international opera directing, Peter Sellars, with conductor Teodor Curentzis and soloists including New Zealand's bass Jonathan Lemalu.
Sellars' has invited New Zealand's theatre director Lemi Ponifasio to choreograph, and he speaks with Karyn about how the Pacific features in this 21st century production where Mozart is realised as a climate warrior.
