400 years of music theater in Europe \u2013 what a legacy! But: who actually represents which legacy, chooses something for themselves, who would like to receive something and who would prefer not to during the reading of the will? 36 music theater teams from nine different countries dealt with these questions for this year\u2019s competition. Two of the prize-winning works will now be presented over the course of two evenings at St. Elizabeth Church in Mitte.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"Arianna. Ariadne.Ariane<\/strong><\/p>\n

The team working with Tom Smith (amongst others, winner oft he Vincent E. Lam Prize for Composition) and Caitlin van der Maas (who has created works for M\u00fcnchner Kammerspiele and Dutch National Opera Academy, Amsterdam, amongst others) take the myth of Ariadne as their topic \u2013 Ariadne is the protagonist of one of the first operas in the history of music. Three women are stranded on an island, abandoned by their men\u2026three perspectives, languages, time periods and musical idioms mix, complement each other and form a new Lamento di Arianna.

\"\"Prothesen der Autonomie – eine Sci-Fi Oper (Prosthese of Automony \u2013 a Sci-Fi Opera)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thierry Tidrow (amongst others, winner of the Jules-L\u00e9ger Preis, prize of the composition competiton Neue Szenen III), Zs\u00f3fia Ger\u00e9b (who has directed in Budapest, Berlin and Bayreuth \u2013 Wagner f\u00fcr Kinder) as well as Franziska vom Heede (amongst others, recipient of the 2017 Kleist F\u00f6rderpreis) use Prothesen der Autonomie – eine Sci-Fi Oper (Prosthese of Automony \u2013 a Sci-Fi Opera) to offer a futuristic\/comedic view of the year 2180 and of the \u201ccomplaint and waiting periods of the union for the prevention of emotionally stressful work\u201d. After all, the good, old opera with its suffering heroines is not acceptable for a modern singer. As a result, a robot performs the role. But the robot has its own opinion and quirks as well\u2026<\/p>\n
