Opera | Opera & Democracy: Listening in Exile

Thursday, April 18, 2024, 6:30 pm

Free

Ruth Schonthal and Erich Zeisl will be presented in a concert. Schonthal, who would have celebrated her 100th birthday in 2024, became an important figure in the New York music scene during her American exile. She composed several operas, including Princess Maleen, which will be heard in part. Zeisl, on the other hand, lived mainly on the West Coast, where he worked for the film and various educational institutions. Excerpts from his opera fragment Hiob, based on the famous novel by Joseph Roth and perhaps one of the most fascinating exile operas, will be performed next to Schonthal. Both works are largely unknown today, as are the biographies of their authors.

Ruth Schonthal: Princess Maleen (Excerpts)
Erich Zeisl: Hiob (Excerpts)
