Handel treiben sie seit Jahrhunderten: die Buddenbrooks. In Feridun Zaimoglus neuer Lesart von Thomas Manns Jahrhundertroman sind sie allerdings von Getreide lange schon auf Geschütze umgestiegen. Während Thomas im Waffenhandel Erfolge feiert, versucht Christian sich als Buchhändler. Doch das Ende ihrer Zeit naht, argwöhnisch beobachtet von den Kommentaren der Hagenströms und eingeleitet von den Extravaganzen des kunstaffinen Sprösslings Hanno.

»Die Oper Buddenbrooks sollte kein Museum für das deutsche Bürgertum des 19. Jahrhunderts werden. Ich wollte vielmehr freilegen, was uns Thomas Mann mit seinem Opus magnum heute zu sagen hat, und ich war während meiner Arbeit an der Oper dann doch sehr erstaunt darüber, wie nahe das 19. am 21. Jahrhundert mit all seinen Themen, Visionen und Kämpfen liegt.«
Ludger Vollmer

Deutsch

They have been trading for centuries: the Buddenbrooks. In Feridun Zaimoglu's new reading of Thomas Mann's novel of the century, however, they have long since switched from grain to guns. While Thomas celebrates success in the arms trade, Christian tries his hand at being a bookseller. But the end of their time is approaching, watched suspiciously by the Hagenströms' comments and initiated by the extravagances of the art-loving offspring Hanno.

» Buddenbrook's  opera should not become a museum for the German bourgeoisie of the 19th century. Rather, I wanted to reveal what Thomas Mann has to say to us today with his magnum opus, and while working on the opera I was very amazed at how close the 19th century is to the 21st century with all its themes, visions and struggles lies.«
