These are dark times: hidden in his palace, the Emperor of Atlantis declares war. But death refuses its service and with it the redemption from all suffering. Composed in 1943 in the Theresienstadt camp and banned after the dress rehearsal, Viktor Ullmann's chamber opera "Der Kaiser von Atlantis" was first performed in 1975. The "play in one act" makes an oppressive reference to the reality of the camp inmates during the National Socialist era, but also reflects today's issues. The work is characterized by echoes of jazz and light music of the 1920s, meaningful quotations and a concise instrumentation.

English

Es sind düstere Zeiten: Verborgen in seinem Palast, ruft der Kaiser von Atlantis den Krieg aus. Der Tod aber verweigert seinen Dienst und damit die Erlösung von allem Leid. 1943 im Lager Theresienstadt komponiert und nach der Generalprobe verboten, wurde Viktor Ullmanns Kammeroper „Der Kaiser von Atlantis“ erst 1975 uraufgeführt. Das „Spiel in einem Akt“ verweist beklemmend auf die Realität der Lagerinsassen zur Zeit des Nationalsozialismus, spiegelt aber auch heutige Themen. Anklänge an den Jazz und die Unterhaltungsmusik der 1920er Jahre, bedeutungsvolle Zitate und eine prägnante Instrumentierung kennzeichnen das Werk.
