Sidney B. Corbett

Keine Stille außer der des Windes

Sidney Corbettís Keine Stille (außer der des Windes) is an 80-minute chamber opera with a libretto by Simone Homem de Mello, based on texts by Fernando Pessoa. The librettist and composer pack the literary fragments of this poetry of loneliness into a hermetically sealed space and a daily cycle that six or seven characters have to face. This work, translated "No Silence (Except that of the Wind)", was commissioned by Bremen Theatre and premiered at the cityís Concordia Theatre on 31 January 2007. This new edition (EP14382) is the conducting score of the work.
