[…] no conventional arias and duets. Although this was my first experience with Blacher I was struck by similarities to Aribert Reimann who turned out to be one of Blacher’s star pupils and another great musical son of the Berlin Oper. He also wrote a number of classical and Shakespearian themed ballets that remain in their repertory today. This video is derived from the world premiere production of 1970 directed by the Berlin Intendant Gustav Rudolf Sellner and conducted by Heinrich Hollreiser.
