Philip Glass : The Trial
Various Venues http://composersconcordance.com/festival.php United States (646) 522-9442 http://composersconcordance.com/festival.phpMusic Theatre Wales The meeting of two extraordinary minds – Philip Glass and Franz Kafka.
Kafka’s nightmarish tale of a man arrested and prosecuted for an unknown crime by a relentless and inaccessible authority has lost none of its chilling potency down the years. Now, Philip Glass brings his signature music and dramatic force to this literary classic. Working with Christopher Hampton as librettist, this new opera, sung in English, faithfully follows Kafka’s original story, relishing the author’s notorious paranoia and bizarre sense of humour.
Philip Glass and Music Theatre Wales have developed a striking creative relationship over the years, and Glass has long cherished the idea of turning The Trial into an opera. Join them in experiencing this creative partnership’s unique reimagining of Kafka’s prophetic tale.
The Trial is a co-commission and co-production between Music Theatre Wales, the Royal Opera House, Theater Magdeburg and Scottish Opera. It is in two acts with one interval and will last approximately 2 hours 20 minutes.
