Weinberger – Spring Storms / Komische Oper Berlin
The “last operetta of the Weimar Republic” Spring Storms (Frühlingsstürme) newly reconstructed and staged by Barrie Kosky at the Komische Oper Berlin!
JAROMÍR WEINBERGER
FRÜHLINGSSTÜRME
Czech-born composer Jaromír Weinberger, best known for his opera Schwanda the Bagpiper, was forced to flee to America in order to escape Nazi terror. Frühlingsstürme, staged in 1933 but soon closed down by the Nazi government, was the last operetta of the Weimar Republic. It is filled with cultural complexity, combining serious operatic style with light comedy, and presents a thrilling story involving a doomed love affair set against war between Japan and Russia. This lavish production is staged by the award-winning Australian director Barrie Kosky.
