| Latvian National Opera, Riga, Riga LV-1050, Latvia Friday 14-Jun-13 07:00pm As in the previous season, the Latvian National Opera will continue the popularization of Latvian opera music. Andris Dzenītis is one of the most talented, multi-faceted and internationally successful new Latvian composers. The main character of his new opera is an archetypal hero forever searching for the end of the horizon, walking a path that forever runs through ectasy and catasrophe. In this take on the story, Dauka is no longer a naive child, but an adult, who leaves materialistic society behind only to be met with unsurpassable resistance in his challenging adventures in the vast spirit world. Poet Kārlis Vērdiņš’ libreto is based on the classic children’s tale by Sudraba Edžus, interweaving modern timbral and textural discoveries with a viscerally Latvian feeling. | ||
