Europera 5: Europera V Cage

At the start of Passion :SPIEL, »Europera 5« builds a bridge between the old and new world and tragi-comically ties a melancholy swan song with a hopeful overture...

In the fifth and final part of his »Europera« series, and thus one of his last compositions, John Cage, the undisputed hero and most important driving force behind the New Music Theater after 1945, completely dismantles European opera into its individual parts. The exactly hour-long performance for singers, piano, gramophone, light, tape, television, radio and random number generator combines loose scraps of the canonical opera repertoire into a fascinating web. A music-theatrical archive is created from disparate audiovisual events, from sounds and songs, from gestures, recordings, replays and encores as well as transmissions and overlays. It's all dead serious and - as always with Cage - a big joke. Here, one can see less of the demolitions of the opera houses, which Pierre Boulez vehemently demanded half a century ago, and more of the subsequent clean-up work.
