KAPITEL 1. MEZZOSOPRAN
Commissioned by The Nobel Center, in collaboration with the Opera College and the Royal College of Music, the task was to musically interpret the 2016 Nobel prize in literature. The chosen lyrics work like a collage, and consist of short excerpts from Jelinek’s novel The Piano Teacher, together with a famous quotation.
Text: Elfriede Jelinek (Swedish translation Margaretha Holmqvist) and Bob Dylan
