Kehraus um St. Stephan

O wydarzeniu

"Kehraus um St. Stephan" is a satiric opera by the composer Ernst Krenek, and it will be performed this season at the Volksoper Vienna.

 

"Kehraus um St. Stephan" shows an unscrupulous society in the autumn of 1918, fraught with political cynicism, social complacency, unbridled superficiality and excessive greed. Krenek relates the death dance of the recently foundered Danube Monarchy with a (deceiving) flicker of hope that love and inner values may prevail after all.

 

The composer was confident of the role of art in the burning questions of daily life and political affairs. Ernst Krenek is one of the most significant Austrian composers of the last century.
