“The Glacier – Opera 2.0”: A Bridge Between Worlds with Jazz Influences

Composer Klinkenberg presents "The Glacier," an opera that transcends genre boundaries and redefines traditional concepts. At its core, it tells the poignant story of twins Max and Gabriel on a mountain hike to a glacier – a journey that highlights their contrasting characters and ends tragically.

"The Glacier" is more than an opera; it is "Opera 2.0." Musicians forgo traditional sheet music, performing instead from a graphic video score that allows for an intuitive style with fluent combinations of avant-garde, jazz, and rock. A virtual singer on a video screen takes the lead role, and specially constructed instruments create microtonal soundscapes.

An international orchestra, comprised of virtuosos in microtonal music, brings this unique production to life. Their expertise, including in the realm of jazz, significantly contributes to the innovative sound aesthetic. Experience a new form of opera where musical styles merge to create an unforgettable sonic experience.
