World premiere Gábor Péter Mezei : Opposite the Catafalque

Kamilló Lendvay’s 1978 opera La Putain respectueuse is being included on the Opera’s programme for the first time, as is a work by the younger composer Gábor Péter Mezei: Opposite the Catafalque. Both works focus on the destinies of women: the first in a treatment of a classic Sartre play, the other a contemporary chamber piece. The theme, however, is similar: at a universal level, both press the question of whether it is possible to attain genuine happiness and prosperity purchased at the price of the sacrifice of others. World premiere Gábor Péter Mezei : Opposite the Catafalque
