Reconstruction and orchestration of Claude Debussy's opera fragment »La chute de la maison Usher« by Robert Orledge In French and English with German surtitles The unexpected letter from a childhood friend. He asks for a quick visit, his nerves are shattered. The way to House Usher leads through frighteningly barren areas, but all this is harmless, because a dark family tragedy is taking place in the house itself. Edgar Allan Poe's short story "The Fall of the House of Usher" is one of the best that the brilliant American ever wrote. No wonder that Claude Debussy came up with the idea of ​​setting this master novella to music after his highly psychological »Pelléas«. From 1908 to 1917 he worked on it. But after his death, not even half an hour of music was found. The director, stage and costume designer Anna Viebrock is one of the most important theater artists in Germany. In Mannheim she will use the opera fragment completed by Robert Orledge to create a music theater piece about the inexorable metamorphosis of a house and its inhabitants, to which further compositions by Debussy will be added. A transformation in several stages, at the end of which abysses open up; Abysses in which new, extremely disturbing time calculations reign.
