Erwin Schulhoff: Flammen

Erwin Schulhoff: Flammen

A world premiere of the newly reconstructed Czech version of Erwin Schulhoff's opera Flammen as part of the Musica non grata project. An unconventionally conceived story of Don Juan with elements of surrealism, Dada and references to jazz music, directed by Calixto Bieito, winner of many prestigious international awards.

The Shadows sing of Don Juan's sexual exploits and La Morte's passion for him. To the sound of a solo flute, he enters a dark abandoned house to seduce yet another woman. Her moans of ecstasy are heard… Thus begins the opera Flammen – a story full of mirages and music from other cosmic spheres, whose artistic treatment oscillates between opera, pantomime and symphonic poem. This surrealistic work, subtly imbued with elements of jazz, will be performed in the State Opera for the first time in its rich history, on a Czech libretto, which is currently being reconstructed from historical sources in collaboration with the Schott Music publishing house. The unconventional story of the legendary seducer of women, Don Juan, will be directed by the winner of the European Cultural Award of the Pro Europa Foundation, the Catalan rebel Calixto Bieito. Conductor: Jiří Rožeň. The opera will be performed five times in Prague at the State Opera and once as part of the Janáček Brno International Music Festival.

Other performances: 15., 18. and 24 June and 26 November 2022
