OPERABRUNCH AUFSTIEG UND FALL DER STADT MAHAGONNY
Some works require just that little bit more context, especially when they are rarely on the bill. That is why we have the Operabrunch formula, an informative moment in a relaxed atmosphere which zooms in on special titles from our programme.
'One of the most rebellious operas of the 20th century' is how musicologist Pieter Bergé (KULeuven) describes Aufstieg und Fall der Stadt Mahagonny. As the author of a new volume on Mahagonny in the Operatheek series, he is the ideal speaker to introduce us to the distinctive character of this parabolic piece and its challenging and surprising treatment of the opera genre.
