The Chalk Circle by Von Zemlinsky, Noiztik (2018/2018), Zuzendaria Richard Brunel,, Zuzendaria Lothar Koenigs, Opéra Nouvel de Lyon, Lyon, France

Adapted from the play by Klabund, itself taken from the Chinese drama of Ling Sing-Tao (13th century), this political work denounces misery, oppression and corruption, this parable, between fairy tale and social realism, tale the triumph of a young girl destined to a tragic destiny... This little-known nugget is now entering the repertoire of the Opéra de Lyon in a staging by Richard Brunel inspired by today's China, evoking a cruel world... Any resemblance to the real world is intentional.
