The opera draws on Franz Kafka’s short story about Odysseus, Circe and the Sirens.
Rolf Riehm’s three-part, eight-scene opera draws on the Odyssey’s myth of Odysseus, Circe, and the Sirens, as well as related texts by Karoline von Günderrode, Giovanni Pascoli, and Isabelle Eberhardt. The first part unfolds on Circe’s island Aiaia, the second opens with the Siren Song, and Circe, Odysseus, and Telegonos dominate the final scene.
