For the first time this study provides a deeper insight into the staging oeuvre by Ursel and Karl-Ernst Herrmann. With their Mozart interpretatory, the dramaturge and the stage designer have created a visual cosmos that is unparalleled in its aesthetic design in the field of music theatre. The visual dramaturgy they have developed over the past 35 years is fanned out in multiple perspectives in a transdisciplinary approach that combines art history, philology and philosophy as theatre historiography. In its intellectual breadth, this analysis represents a key work in relation to visual culture studies in theatre.
