The Broken Jug (Der zerbrochene Krug)/The Dwarf (Der Zwerg)- Compilation of Scenes
Los Angeles Opera continues its exploration of music by composers suppressed by the Nazis. This season, Music Director James Conlon's multi-year project Recovered Voices presents two exceptional one-act operas. Alexander Zemlinsky based The Dwarf (Der Zwerg) on Oscar Wilde's one-act tragedy "The Birthday of the Infanta." Viktor Ullmann's The Broken Jug (Der zerbrochene Krug) is taken from a comedy by the Romantic German poet Heinrich von Kleist. Vivid imagery, supercharged emotions, and rich late-Romantic orchestral textures characterize these operas.
