The history of twentieth century opera. 1983B.
1983: Modernism and serialism are there to stay. What nobody ever dared to believe happens: everybody does as they please. Conventions are thrown overboard, music theory is for uncreative people, and new-to-opera elements are introduced as if they have always been there. This episode features two composers, both of whom left their personal mark on the post-war opera landscape.
In this episode fragments of:
- Per Nørgård- Siddharta
- Mieczysław Weinberg- The portrait (Портрет)
