THE TSAR HAS HIMSELF PHOTOGRAPHED
The content on this page was translated automatically.
What happens if a dictator is suddenly murdered? Will all our problems then be solved? The tsar of an unknown country is invited to a Parisian photo studio to have his portrait taken by the aspiring photographer Angèle. But the invitation is a trap set by a group of conspirators who take over the photo studio and manipulate the camera with a gun. And when the camera is triggered ... 3 .... 2 ... 1 ...
Kurt Weill's opera "Der Zar lässt sich photographieren" is a comical and tense focus on human needs. Its characters try to overcome the boundaries of social hierarchies and escape their social roles. But in the process, their dark sides come to light:
abuse of power, perversion, selfish greed.
