Tri Sestri - Wiener Staatsoper (2016) - Tri Sestri - Wiener Staatsoper (2016)

Description

New production

With Tri Sestri, the Wiener Staatsoper has incorporated yet another important and internationally successful contemporary work in its repertoire. This full-length opera on a grand scale by Peter Eötvös was first performed in Lyon in 1998. Though the composer based the work on Anton Chekhov’s Three Sisters, he does not present a linear storyline, revealing the plot in three sequences, or to be more precise, telling the story three times from different perspectives. Consequently, many of the episodes are repeated – but without any superfluity.
