| Opernhaus Bonn, Am Boeselagerhof 1, 53111 Bonn Bonn, Germany Sunday 29-Sep-13 06:00pm Written on skin (Benjamin, George (b. 1960)) (Oper in three parts to words by Martin Crimp based on a 13th-century legend "Guillem de Cabestanh - Le cœur mangé") After its premiere at the 2012 Aix-en-Provence Festival, the opera “Written on Skin” by the British composer George Benjamin was performed in rapid succession in Amsterdam, Toulouse, Florence and London – and got rave reviews everywhere. The work, based on a thirteenth-century legend, describes the thorny path of a woman on a journey to find herself, and at the same time plumbs the limits of power that one human being can exert on another. The highly expressive, irresistible music accompanies the writing of a book, which, “written on skin”, finally brings about the death of its creator. The production opens the first season under the new general director Bernhard Helmich.
Additional Information: Presented by Theater Bonn in co-operation with Beethovenfest Bonn. Further performance on FRI 4 OCT 7.30 PM Miriam Clark, Soprano: Agnès Terry Wey, Countertenor: Boy / Angel 1 Susanne Blattert, Mezzo-soprano: Marie / Angel 2 Tamas Tarjányi, Tenor: John / Angel 3 Avaz Abdullayev, Bass: The Protector Beethoven Orchester Bonn Hendrik Vestmann, Conductor | ||
