“The Osnabrück Symphony Orchestra accompanies this with orchestral vehemence: This is what great opera sounds like. [...] An all-round successful production with which the Osnabrück Music Theater reaches the next level. ”- Ralf Döring, NOZ

Semjin, a worker from Eastern Europe, is on his way to South America with his fiancée Anhui and her father, hoping to find a better life across the Atlantic. On board the emigrant ship is also the wealthy mine owner Lean Branchista, who engages the attractive Semjin on her infamous saltpeter mines on the spot. A violent affair ensues between the capitalist and the worker. Semjin, torn by his criticism of the exploitative conditions in the mines and his passion for lean, finally flees to New York to return to Europe. In the docks he meets the terminally ill Anshutka who dies in his arms. Desperate and disaffected, Semjin screams for a job "that makes you die quickly!"

Karol Rathaus was born in Galicia in 1895 to Jewish parents and was one of those who had to leave their homeland and hoped for a new, more secure life in America. As a master student of Franz Schreker, he was able to free himself from the dominant influence of his teacher at an early stage and found a musical language that remained tonally bound, but which did take up the different currents of the 1920s - such as twelve-tone technique, jazz and agitprop.

His rarely performed opera Fremde Erde was premiered in 1930 at the Berlin State Opera with great media attention and with Erich Kleiber at the podium. It shows the contrast between the New World and old beliefs, the shattering of the hopes of the emigrants and an unrestrained predatory capitalism.
