Im Anfang war das Wort? Wie schnell beweisen blutige Taten das Gegenteil des Gesagten. Nach Bernhard Langs Playing Trump 2021 begibt sich erneut ein zeitgenössischer Komponist auf die Spur der Worte eines Despoten. Gesammelt in Zeiten des Friedens, vertont in Zeiten des Krieges. Schamlos verkehrt die Rhetorik der Macht mörderische Pläne in ihr Gegenteil. Heuchelei und dreiste Lüge werden zum Prinzip erhoben.

Die Kreide im Mund des Wolfs

Opera Stabile Werk/Wirkbühne of the State Opera

At the zenith of his career as a board member of a major corporation, disaster suddenly befalls the former working-class son William Mallory. He crashes over a scandal and no longer understands the world. With suicidal thoughts, he fables on the couch with his psychiatrist about the stages of his rise. An opera as a chamber play that begins quietly, only to soon unroll the great themes of life - a parable about rise and fall, identity and betrayal, appearance and fate. In the end, Mallory realizes that his own illusions have brought him down. In the end, he no longer even knows whether it was an illusion that he once began his rise as a good man.
