Senza sangue
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Senza sangue (Without blood) is one act opera and the fourth opera composed[1] by Péter Eötvös. The opera's libretto was written by Mari Mezei, and is sung in Italian. It is based on the second part of the 2002 novel of the same name [it] by Alessandro Baricco and is intended to be performed jointly with Béla Bartók's one-act Bluebeard's Castle.[2] The concert première was given by the New York Philharmonic conducted by Alan Gilbert on 1 May 2015 at the Kölner Philharmonie.[3] The stage premiere was on 15 May 2016 at the Festival d'Avignon.[3] Anne Sofie von Otter, who sang in the work première, said: "The piece is not at all easy for the two singers... [It's] hard to find the pitch; you have to work it into the voice, unless of course you happen to have perfect pitch, which I don't."[4]
