Leoš Janáček

/ 2016 / opera/fabula

Leoš Janáček's Zápisník zmizelého song cycle, in a fresh German translation, produced as an innovative chamber opera in the intimate surrounds of Vienna's Salon Razumovsky.

​

Set in the bedroom of Janáček's young protagonist Janík, the action is compressed into an expressive series of everyday rituals, which are challenged by an encounter with a gypsy girl, and then irrevocably changed as Janík shrugs off his fears and his parents' prejudices in a taut, psychological rite of passage.

​

"A great production met with frenetic applause from an enthusiastic audience." - Helmut Hoffmann, 24/04/2016
