Spoken

Sie ist Mitte zwanzig und sitzt im Schoß der Familie fest. Sie hat das Leben vor sich, ahnt jedoch, dass die Zukunft nur Altbekanntes zu bieten hat. Dora, Opernheldin des 21. Jahrhunderts, begegnet den Lebensentwürfen ihrer Gegenwart mit kompromissloser Total-Ablehnung und sucht rast- wie ziellos nach etwas Anderem. Die rhythmusgetriebene Musik Bernhard Langs mit ihren Loops und Samplings wird dabei zu Doras Komplizin. In seiner Oper über die Sehnsucht nach dem radikal Neuen spielt Lang allerdings auch mit den Klängen anderer Epochen und legt gemeinsam mit dem Schriftsteller Frank Witzel Spuren zu jahrhundertealten Figuren, Mythen und Geschichten. So greift Dora in ihrer Richtungslosigkeit zu einem altbewährten Trick und ruft den Teufel auf den Plan.

Deutsch

Dora is in her mid-twenties and stuck in the sheltered surroundings of her family. Though she still has her whole life ahead of her, she suspects that the future has only the same old worn and well-known ideas to offer than before. Dora, the 21st century’s new heroine of opera, meets her present with total rejection and finds herself in aimless search for something different. Bernhard Lang's rhythm-driven music becomes Dora’s accomplice. In his opera about a longing for something radically new, Lang and librettist Frank Witzel playfully mix varying sounds from different musical epochs whilst laying tracks to centuries old characters, myths and stories. In her relentless search for direction however, Dora resorts to a time-honoured trick by calling upon the devil himself.
