Péter Eötvös
Lady Sarashina - Opéra en neuf tableaux
A production by the Bern University of the Arts (HKB) in collaboration with paradise is here
Péter Eötvös is one of the most famous contemporary composers. Eötvös has created a new, chamber music setting for his celebrated and much-performed opera “Lady Sarashina” (premiere 2008) especially for the HKB. At the beginning of April, he will oversee the first rehearsals with this setting. The sound world of this piece combines radio drama, cartoon soundtracks, electronic sound transformations, ambient sound, and acoustic art, as well as film and theatre music. The play is staged by Kami Wilhelmina Manns and the VERTIGO ensemble is directed by Lennart Dohms. The young up-and-coming soprano Erika Baikoff is not to be missed as Lady Sarashina, and other roles are played by vocals students from the Swiss Opera Studio HKB.
