SUOR ANGELICA (SCHWESTER ANGELICA) | A ROOM OF ONE'S OWN (EIN EIGENES ZIMMER)

Something like a women's opera evening in a double pack! Set to emphatic music, Puccini's heartrending one-act play tells the story of a young woman who had to give up her illegitimate child in order to do penance in the convent for the sexual 'misstep' that led to the child's birth. Years later, as Sister Angelica, she learns of the child's death and commits suicide to be close to him. Supported by the singing of her fellow sisters, the Mother of God does show her mercy in heavenly music.

The world premiere of the 60-minute "essay-opera" A Room of One's Own by the Finnish composer Outi Tarkiainen does not tell a story in the style of Puccini, but the text by Virginia Woolf, rich in punch lines and overflowing with parable-like plot fragments and critically funny insights, offers enough material for an opera . Woolf emphasizes her concerns in the thesis that a woman needs 500 British pounds a year – 1927 (!) – and her own room in order to be able to develop as an artist ... After orchestral works with and without vocal parts, for example for the BBC Proms in London, A Room of One's Own is Tarkiainen's first operatic composition, based on Woolf's classical feminist text, with a keen sense of the deeper meaning of her music.
