Zemlinsky: Stiff Portrait at Josefstadt

Felix Mitterer's play about composer Alexander Zemlinsky received a new production at Vienna's Josefstadt theater. However, director Stephanie Mohr's interpretation was criticized for being overly rigid and failing to fully capture the complexities of Zemlinsky's life and work. The production has sparked debate about how to represent historical figures on stage.
