Irish Premiere
Vivid and insightful, this heartrending opera recreates the world of 13 year-old Anne Frank in hiding, living in hope and fear, longing for normality for herself and her family.
Opera Theatre Company’s twenty fourth year of touring opera throughout Ireland continues with this memorable and atmospheric opera.
Russian composer Grigory Frid, whose own family suffered enormously under Stalin, was so inspired by Anne Frank’s diary that he created the opera in 1969. Frank’s powerful optimism and unbending will to live continue to instill awe.
Sung in English, the focus is on Anne Frank’s original words. Her joy over a glimpse of blue sky, the budding love for her friend Peter, her determination to remain courageous, her humour and resilient hopes for freedom all find moving and eloquent expression in the poignant score.
