Some Viennese friends of mine would like to see Susan Rigvava-Dumas as Elisabeth. And some German friends of mine would like to see Máté Kamarás as Death again. What do you say? I love Susan but not as Elisabeth. Let her stay as Danvers (or I'll have my trip to see Rebecca ruined ) I want to see Pia because...well its Pia, but after that I also think it would be good to cast new people. As for Maté...since I don't like his Death, I wouldn't like to see him on the role again. If someone should replay Death, apart from Uwe, to me its Jesper.

By the way will they be doing the Essen, Stuttgart or Vienna production in Berlin? Or maybe something totally orignal? I guess it must be a mixture of both or something quite new, since it's a Stage Entertainment production but with Harry Kupfer (Vienna) directing. I would be curious to see that, I just wish it was a cast that made me more excited. Well, not that I would mind seeing Pia, even if I wish they cast new people because she's not the only one who can play Elisabeth; but Uwe, hmm, I'd rather get the understudy. Even if he's a good Maxim and I've got nothing against him as such, he's done this role to, well, death. I would be curious to see what Susan would do with the role of Elisabeth, she could be terrific. Or I'd like to see Wietske do it again. She really blew me away in Rebecca, the CDs don't do her justice. Jesper reprising the role of Death would have been goodness. I'd have liked to see what he does of it now, and as a principal rather than an alternate.

Has there been any news on who the remainder of the cast will be or at least when it will be announced?

Martin Markert will be a cover for Rudolf. He was also a Rudolf cover on the VBW Japanese tour.

Thomas Hohler, who was lately in 3 Musketiere in Stuttgart, is rumored to be the cover Lucheni. I haven't seen official word anywhere.

Ooh, that's interesting about Felix as Death! I would love to see how he does the role nowadays. I also appreciate that, well, I haven't heard of most of these other people, which means they are looking beyond the best known names into new-ish people. Or it just means I haven't been paying attention to some parts of the musical scene, but still, it's nice to get people who haven't already done the roles loads and loads of times.
