On the way to a new opera: with skin and hair?

Mon, May 26, 2025, 20:00

Deutsche Oper Berlin, Foyer (Berlin)

One of the approaches taken in Rebecca Saunders's compositions is to make sound immediately tangible and at the same time to make the body tangible through sound. Her pieces are titled ‘Skull’, ‘Scar’, ‘Skin’, ‘Wounds’ or ‘Hauch’ – and move in a field of tension between direct physical and sonic experience on the one hand and a nuanced listening to textures, a detailed compositional work and the examination of authors such as Samuel Beckett and Ed Atkins on the other. This portrait invites you to explore the musical cosmos of Rebecca Saunders – in conversation with the composer and through her music, played and sung by long-standing artistic companions such as the soprano Sarah Maria Sun and the pianist Ernst Surberg, both of whom will also be performing in the world premiere of LASH.

On the way to a new opera: Whip or lash?

Mon, Jun 2, 2025, 20:00

Deutsche Oper Berlin, Foyer (Berlin)

The language of Ed Atkins' libretto is highly poetic, visually stunning and plays with double meanings and the interweaving of different language levels, from slang to high register. The poet and translator Odile Kennel was therefore entrusted with the translation of the text into German – for surtitles and printed text, among various other uses. She will read from her translation and discuss the peculiarities of the libretto text and its translation.
