Red Moon: Wozzeck Berg

Beneath the singers’ powerful vocal lines, the orchestra flickers and gleams, quick and variable as thought itself, revealing the characters’ emotions with a Freudian depth.

The tale centres on the soldier Wozzeck, his army friends and rivals, his girlfriend and their illegitimate child. Nobody comes out of the story very well (morality is a luxury the poor can’t afford, as Wozzeck tells his commanding officer), but the opera’s unflinching gaze reveals a new and striking kind of inner vision.

Completed in 1922, Wozzeck is the Ulysses of music. Like Joyce’s novel, the narrative is underpinned by a breathtaking level of technical virtuosity, but as TS Eliot opined, “this method was ‘a way of controlling, of ordering, of giving shape and significance to the immense panorama of futility and anarchy which is contemporary history’”.

The first act has five short scenes Berg called Character Studies; the second act is a five-scene “symphony” developing the conflicts between the characters; the third act is a set of “inventions”.
