Career
Bruno Berger-Gorski visited the Albrecht-Dürer-Gymnasium, a german Highschool in Hagen.
He studied theater, music and art science at the University of Vienna.[2] There he wrote a book about Dirk D’Ase, which has the title: „Dirk D'Ase und sein musikdramatisches Werk mit besonderer Berücksichtigung der Uraufführung ‚Einstein, Spuren des Lichts‘ ‚'“. Berger-Gorski is much interested in rediscovering old or rarely performed Operas and he does a lot of contemporary works. He directed among others Plays by Udo Zimmermann, Ella Milch-Sheriff, Giselher Klebe, Tom Johnson, Manfred Trojahn, Knut Vaage and Camille Kerger. His staging of Offenbachs „Rheinnixen“ at the Theater in Trier, Germany was rewarded as the rediscovery of the year 2005 by the german Opera Journal Opernwelt }}[4] Berger-Gorski is the only active german Opera Director who staged on four continents. [1]
Temporarily Berger-Gorski directs first performances and world premieres of Plays by Josef Tal and Ella Milch-Sheriff in Bonn, Germany, Luxembourg and Vienna. For his next production in Bonn, Germany, he works together with conductor Marino Formenti. The Opera will take place in a room installation by Daniel Spoerri. It will appear in the context of the German-Israeli Year and in commemorating the november-pogroms. [5] In 2016 Berger-Gorski plans to do Verdis Machbeth in Wrocław.
