Graham Vick directs this world premiere of Georg Friedrich Haas’s new opera Morgen Und Abend (Morning And Evening) starring great Austrian actor Klaus Maria Brandauer.
Featuring a libretto by Norwegian author, poet and playwright Jon Fosse, the Austrian composer’s first commission for the Royal Opera tells the story of a man, who’s born and becomes a fisherman. He ages, then one day he finds himself speaking to loved ones long dead, and he comes to realize that he, too, is dead.
Like Haas’ previous works, Morgen Und Abend features an intense and highly charged atmosphere, constructed from shifting sound worlds that coalesce suddenly into opulent richness.
