Haas's Morgen und Abend

BBC Radio 3 - Opera on 3, Haas's Morgen und Abend

From the Royal Opera House, the world premiere of Georg Friedrich Haas's Morgen und Abend.

From the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, the world premiere of Georg Friedrich Haas's Morgen und Abend, featuring celebrated actor Klaus Maria Brandauer. Michael Boder conducts.

Austrian composer Georg Friedrich Haas's new commission Morgen und Abend - Morning and Evening - recorded at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, and starring the great actor Klaus Maria Brandauer with the Chorus and Orchestra of the Royal Opera House conducted by Michael Boder. The opera follows a day in the life of a fisherman called Johannes, sung by German baritone Christoph Pohl, who slowly realises that he has died. Haas has based his new work on a novel by Norwegian writer Jon Fosse, and this world premiere is directed by Graham Vick. Haas's musical language is characterised by soundscapes, and as he describes is "not based on notated structures, but only on the perception of the sound." Ivan Hewett introduces the opera, and the broadcast features interviews with the composer and the director Graham Vick.
