58:50Applause - pause Anna appears in the guard room with her child, whom she found murdered in the forest. The superintendent and his two strange officers promise to find the killer. First the officers interrogate the irascible forest owner Hans Z., but he denies everything and points out a stranger whom he has seen talking to the child ... who turns out to be the child's father, who has been lost for a long time and who secretly establish contact wanted. But the child, says his father, Hans K., was afraid of him and ran away, supposedly home. The suspicion even falls briefly on Anna, who only sings about her pain on all questions, but then on the candy seller Hans P. and his wife Hansi, who burden each other and then also the forest owner. In the following interrogations it turns out that the child was in the forest a second time, talked to his father a second time, was in the candy store a second time, that the suspicion is passed on from one to the next and cannot be tied down anywhere. Everyone is suspicious, but no one is more suspicious than anyone else, and the investigation seems to be in the process of being. The inspector interrupts the interrogation. During the on-site inspection with everyone involved, he is determined to solve the mystery of the murder, to coax the secret from the dead child. He has gathered enough clues and empathized deeply into the souls of the suspects ... he is the detective who also solves the unsolvable cases. Anna, the mother. Soprano.

It was composed by the Berlin jury Everhartz, 31, in a vital mix of styles and along a Tristan motif. The libretto was written by Kristine Tornquist from Graz, who is also the director. 12 trees (stage: Jakob Scheid) that cover the orchestra in the background of the stage (1 string quartet and 12 wind instruments, including 5 bassoons, conductor Erke Duit) are the forest in which a young mother (Nina Plangg) initially discovers her murdered child . Two police officers (Roman Steger and Martin Witzmann) interrogate the suspects: The forest owner (Günther Strahlegger), the child's father (Bernd Fröhlich) and the candy seller (Florian Kugler). The commissioner (Alfred Werner) seems to be mute at first, but then raises his bass voice. The inspector is convincing as a mixture of expressionist-philosophical message, verbal and scenic joke. A parallel event develops on a puppet stage. Julia Reichert and Christoph Widauer (Kabinetttheater) almost steal the show from the singers with their creative ideas. With this premiere, a new opera company introduced itself to the audience: the siren opera theater. It is to be hoped that this Commissioner will have a number of other such cases worth seeing and hearing to solve!
