Chamber opera about the relationship between Bettina von Arnim and Karoline von Günderrode, viewed in retrospect after Günderrode’s suicide. A single mezzo-soprano performs both women, accompanied by children’s chorus, tape, and ensemble.
In this adapted history, Albert Einstein, exiled from Nazi Germany, assists the Americans in creating the atomic bomb. He grows distrustful of American politics and destroys his final twenty years of research to keep its knowledge from being abused.
