„Jennifer Holloway created an impressively haunting character... Her dazzling voice
with precise highs was able to master the enormous demands of the role.“ – Bachtrack
Der ferne Klang by Austrian composer Franz Schreker (1878–1934) premiered on 18 August 1912 at the
Frankfurt Opera House. Schreker began composing his first full-length opera in 1901, after completing
the libretto he had written in just a few weeks. Initially considered impossible to perform, the work brought
Schreker instant fame. It now returns to the location of its premiere for the first time since 1945. With one
exception, Schreker was both composer and librettist for all of his stage works, almost half of which were
performed or premiered in Frankfurt.
The Choir of the Oper Frankfurt and Frankfurter Opern- und Museumsorchester perform under the direction of
Sebastian Weigle.
