Once again this year, the Main Stage at the Barmbek Campus will feature a two-part program combining classical opera repertoire with brand-new compositions.

“I DON’T KNOW WHAT I AM, WHAT I’M DOING!”
Who am I, what amI doing, what do I want…? - A program about identities, self-empowerment, and loss of self - Young singers explore the psyches of their characters from the rich treasure trove of operatic works spanning several centuries.

WITH all students in the Master’s program in Opera
MUSICAL DIRECTION Fausto Nardi, Siegfried Schwab, Willem Wentzel
STAGE DIRECTION Christian Poewe

“UNDER CONSTRUCTION”
The project, in which the students are entirely responsible for the text, composition, singing, and direction, is entering its second year.

The program features four world premieres, each lasting about ten minutes—contemporary duet scenes about the end of something, deep friendship in the face of the cosmos, the metaphysics of pop music, and the answer you don’t want to hear!

COMPOSITION Haonan Guo, Eunhye Joo, Fabian Otten, Niko Yin
TEXTS Laura Bernhardt, Gesa Geue, Maike Graf, Joseph Matteo Noble, Laura Stern
DIRECTION Clara Brezinka, Viktoria Holenok, Pantelis Tiliakos, Charlotte Wulff
VOCALS Esther Barski, Lukas Gerber, Hyunseo Lee, Juyeon Lee, Liss Walisch, Siqi Wang, Tong Wang, Lang Ying
SUPERVISION Gordon Kampe (composition), David Hermann and Christian Poewe (direction)
