Contemporary Reputation
After decades in obscurity, Schreker has begun to enjoy a considerable revival in reputation in the German-speaking world and in the United States. In 2005 the Salzburg Festival mounted a major production of Die Gezeichneten, conducted by Kent Nagano, and the Jewish Museum in Vienna presented an exhibition devoted to his life and work. New productions of Der ferne Klang have been staged at the Staatsoper Unter den Linden in Berlin and the Zurich Opera in 2010, as well as in smaller opera houses in Germany. Irrelohe was performed at the Volksoper in Vienna in 2004 and again at the Bonn Opera in November 2010.
In spring 2010 Die Gezeichneten had its American premiere at the Los Angeles Opera, while Der ferne Klang enjoyed its first staged American performance at the Bard Summerscape Festival.
