History

Файл:Yeats Boughton.jpg
W. B. Yeats, on whose story the opera is based, in 1903

Шаблон:Lang was the first opera that Egk composed after World War II.[1] He had studied with Carl Orff in Munich, and was successful in the 1930s with Шаблон:Lang, Шаблон:Lang and Columbus. He was invited to compose an opera for the 1955 Salzburg Festival. The project was supported by Wilhelm Furtwängler. Egk wrote his own libretto based on The Countess Cathleen by Yeats which has elements of Irish mysticism from both heathen and Christian roots.[2]

Шаблон:Lang was premiered at the Salzburg Festival on 17 August 1955, conducted by George Szell and directed by Oscar Fritz Schuh, with Inge Borkh and the young Walter Berry in leading roles.[1][3] The premiere performance was broadcast by international radio stations.[2] The premiere received international recognition. The Salzburg Festival presented nine premieres between 1947 and 1957, including von Einem's Шаблон:Lang, Orff's Antigone, Blacher's Шаблон:Lang and Шаблон:Lang by Richard Strauss.[2] Egk revised the opera in 1975.[4]

Plot

Ireland suffers a famine. Two messengers of the devil, disguised as merchants, promise food to the hungry in return for selling their souls. Many despaired give in and end in hell. The countess Cathleen offers her soul to save the others. Egk explained that he liked the concept that one person could try, against all odds, to stand up for others in a seemingly hopeless situation (Шаблон:Lang).[2]
