ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
Berlin, 1961. The newly erected Berlin Wall has fractured the city. Put up overnight without warning, residents awoke to find themselves divided from their families, friends and livelihoods. In the following years thousands of refugees would attempt to escape over the wall into West Berlin. Set one month after the wall’s construction, Schutzwall tells the story of two sisters who meet either side to wait for nightfall and their chance to be reunited.
The opera stands as a reminder of the negatives of dividing people.
“An impressive and confident piece which showed a strong control of the medium” – Planet Hugill
