The Melancholy of Resistance
The Melancholy of Resistance
2025, English. Directed by Myriam Hoyer.
From the Berlin State Opera comes the premiere of an acclaimed multimedia creation that blends opera and film: Marc-André Dalbavie and Guillaume Métayer's adaptation of László Krasznahorkai's allegorical bestseller The Melancholy of Resistance, boasting an all-star cast with Philippe Jaroussky, Sandrine Piau, Matthias Klink, and Tanja Ariana Baumgartner! A slowly decaying small town is thrown into disarray by the appearance of a bizarre circus that features an enormous whale and a three-eyed Prince — an arrival that ultimately leads the townspeople toward the chaos of rebellion, groupthink, and totalitarianism. All throughout, David Marton's canny direction allows us a multifaceted view of events, as onstage action is juxtaposed with parallel scenes projected live from a filmed set behind the screen.
