Oryx and Crake - World Premiere

Dear friends,

I am thrilled to announce the upcoming world premiere of the new opera Oryx and Crake by Soren Nils Eichberg, based on the novel by Margaret Atwood. I will be singing the role of Snowman and am excited to share this with you and invite you to join us for the opening night on Saturday February 18 in Wiesbaden..

Margaret Atwood's novel Oryx and Crake is a masterpiece of contemporary literature, exploring themes of environmental destruction, genetic engineering, and the human condition. It is a complex and thought-provoking work that has captivated readers worldwide, and Soren Nils Eichberg's operatic adaptation promises to do the same.

The new opera tells the story of a near-future dystopian world, where the human race is on the brink of extinction. We follow the journey of the protagonist, Snowman, as he navigates a desolate and dangerous landscape, haunted by memories of his past and struggling to survive in a world where scientific advances have gone too far.

I am honored to bring this complex character to life on stage and share his journey with the audience. The music of Soren Nils Eichberg is both haunting and beautiful, capturing the essence of Atwood's novel and creating a world that is both familiar and yet unsettling.

The world premiere of Oryx and Crake is a significant event in the world of opera, and I am excited to be a part of it. It is a rare and exciting opportunity to be involved in the creation of a new work and to share it with audiences for the first time.
