Saint François d'Assise Messiaen

"A man's life is like grass; like a flower in the field that blooms; when the wind blows over it, it is never there, and its place knows no more." Psalm 103

What is humility? It is not the reverence for God, but the encounter with a leper, his pain, his fear and his decay, which leads Francis to the realization that humility also has a lot to do with love - and with overcoming one's own self.

Saint François d'Assise is the only opera ever written by composer Olivier Messiaen, a late work that has no equal. Just as the characters in the piece learn to trust in God, so here the conductor must trust in his musicians - the famous Birds' Concert alone consists of so many melodies that he cannot help but simply let the orchestra play.

" Saint François d'Assise " is made possible by the Kulturfonds Frankfurt RheinMain.
