N. (The Boy), members of the Zurich Opera Orchestra Born in Aachen in 1979, he won with his short opera “Behind Masks” Composer Anno Schreier ours, which was advertised for the second time in 2008 Composition competition "Teatro minimo". As material for his commissioned opera he chose the novel "The City of the Blind" by the Portuguese literary Nobel laureate José Saramago, who was still shortly before his Anno Schreier Death granted the rights to composition. “In the 'City of the Blind'” - according to Anno Schreier - “we tell a parable about the coexistence of People under extreme conditions, under the influence of an unforeseen saw catastrophe - much like what we often hear on the news and reading." “But here it is not war, natural disaster or nuclear disaster that threatens people. Here the catastrophe resides in the people themselves: their ability to see has been robbed. They look in blinding white and are completely at the mercy of each other and their environment. It is like an experimental arrangement: crammed into an isolation camp by the authorities and left to their own devices, the blind form a kind of miniature society, which ultimately becomes a tyranny in the struggle for bare survival. There is only one sighted among the blind: the wife of an ophthalmologist who wants to stay with her blind husband. She would have what it takes to be a heroine, finally commits the - supposedly - liberating tyrannicide, but remains alone with her guilt and the memories of what she was the only one to see. In this experimental set-up, all human feelings, behaviors and character traits - good and bad - appear as if under a monstrous magnifying glass. Normal people 'like you and me' become opera characters - heroes and tyrants, desperate, hopeful and lovers. Because that is what moves us and pulls us along on the opera stage: people who are exposed to extreme situations and extreme feelings - so extreme that nothing else remains for them to express themselves other than singing.
