What is a human being? That is the question that the internationally renowned composer Pedro Halffter addresses in a brand new chamber opera that premiered in Spain in 2022, later played in the USA, and is now being performed at Operaen i Midten in central and western Jutland.

The focal point is Klara – a robot with artificial intelligence, who gains both reason and emotions, and can therefore philosophize and explore the life around her. For what does it actually mean that robots become aware of themselves as individuals? And what could this mean for humans' use of technology and artificial intelligence in the future?

Klara is played by the American opera singer Ashley Galvani Bell. The focal point of the scene is two grand pianos placed opposite each other, between which the main character moves. The music is provided by two pianists, one of whom is the composer himself.

'Fugl' is a newly composed opera by Jesper Nordin, and is based on a true story from the composer's own family during World War II.

In the opera we meet the medical student Mina in a war-torn city. She is hit by a series of accidents that put her human morality to the test.
Milo and his wife Amsel find themselves in the same city. Milo is a priest and an idealist who dreams of being able to 'live like birds' in a natural and trusting way. However, this belief is put in danger by his actions.
