Not every institution dares to take this colossus onto the opera stage. The Stuttgart State Opera in 1989 did. Spectacular images in a somber mood paired with overwhelming sound, ranging from timid to mercilessly brutal. It quickly becomes clear why this work is also relevant to music history. Even the first few minutes bear witness to the serialization of all opera parameters and combine spatial and temporal dimensions.

Nancy Shade is persuasive as the awkward adolescent Marie, whose naiveté leads relentlessly to her downfall. Michael Ebbecke is sympathetic as Stolzius, her jilted lover and avenger, while William Cochran is properly brutish as Desportes, the officer who initiates her spiral of decline. Bernhard Kontarsky gets a dedicated response from his Stuttgart Opera forces, who perform with belief in this often excessive but always engrossing work. Recorded at the Staatsoper Stuttgart, 1989.
