Following the Babylonian epic, Per Nørgård’s opera moves through six days and seven nights, beginning with the creation of the world and ending with Gilgamesh’s rebirth. The staging places performers and musicians in the center of a rectangular room, with the audience on both sides.
Text compiled from Guillaume Apollinaire’s poems frames a meeting between Alice, a war correspondent, and Wilhelm, a soldier. Per Nørgård’s two-act chamber opera is written for two singers.
Set in the garden of the Kapilavastu palace, the opera-ballet recounts the prince Siddhartha’s transformation into the Buddha.
