A chamber opera in the making

by | Apr 6, 2024 | sax records

In February I was part of a chamber opera workshop at the Peter Eötvös Contemporary Music Foundation in Budapest, where I had the chance to meet György Kurtág when my piece was discussed.

I was then selected as one of the composers for the next phase of the project: Clavigo, a chamber opera after the play by Goethe.

Clavigo music theatre workshop at the Budapest Music Center in February 2023, produced by the Peter Eötvös COntemporary Music Foundation, in presence of György Kurtág.

Very sadly Peter passed away in March as you know; the project is still on though and the chamber opera will premiere in Budapest in December, with more dates planned in Berlin and Köln. So right now I’m writing act II of this Clavigo!
