Die sieben Todsünden & Der Kaiser von Atlantis
The Dutch National Opera Academy and the Residentie Orkest present two powerful and timely operas at the Conservatoriumzaal in Amare: Die sieben Todsünden by Kurt Weill and Der Kaiser von Atlantis by Viktor Ullmann. This double bill is not only a display of musical and theatrical mastery but also an invitation to reflect.
In Die sieben Todsünden, Anna 1 and Anna 2 commit the seven deadly sins in seven cities to save their family. Der Kaiser von Atlantis, written in the Theresienstadt concentration camp, is a poignant allegory about power and humanity.
Performed by students of the Dutch National Opera Academy, with staging by Floris Visser and musical direction by Sam Weller. The operas are sung in German, with Dutch and English surtitles.
