Achim Freyer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Achim Freyer (born March 30, 1934) is a German stage director, set designer and painter. A protege of Bertolt Brecht, Freyer has become one of the world's leading opera directors, working throughout Europe and, since 2002, in the United States, principally with the Los Angeles Opera. Since 1992, Freyer has developed a number of productions featuring his own troupe of performers, known as the Freyer Ensemble.
Freyer staged a controversial production of Wagner's Ring Cycle in Los Angeles in 2010,[1] praised by many critics but criticised by some of its own stars.[2]
