Tamás Ittzés–Gábor Lanczkor: A LUTHEREK (THE LUTHERS)
This ragtime-opera deploys all the musical elements that fit in the genre of jazz: swing, blues, dixieland, gospel, spirituals, and naturally ragtime. The title characters, Martin Luther and Martin Luther King meet in Heavens. The composition searching for the similarities in their thoughts and teachings is an artistic tribute to the 500th anniversary of the Reformation.
World premiere
A joint production of Bartók Plus Opera Festival and the Csokonai National Theatre in Debrecen | Contributing: Bohém Ragtime Jazz Band with guests
Astor Piazzolla–Horacio Ferrer: MARIA DE BUENOS AIRES
Astor Piazzolla’s ‘operita’ is a unique masterpiece about passion, lust and the supernatural. Set against the backdrop of a teeming city, and to the sound of milongas, tangos and waltzes, Maria de Buenos Aires binds the slang of brothels to the poetry of angels. A vibrant production from Operaview, renowned for their merging of opera with dance and visual arts.
