ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
Viktor Ullmann, a German-speaking, Austro-Hungarian Jew like Mahler, wrote this satirical opera while imprisoned in the Theresienstadt ghetto. Ullmann was later killed in Auschwitz, but the manuscript was saved by the camp’s librarian who survived the war. The opera is a thinly veiled satire of Hitler in which Death is fed up with facilitating a government founded on perpetual war and murder and so goes on strike. But what happens to the living when there is no death?
