Peer Gynt opera in Germany

Jüri Reinvere’s opera Peer Gynt will be premiered in its original German version at the Bremerhaven City Theatre. There will be five performances starting on 3 May. Marc Niemann conducts the opera, and the dramaturgy is by Markus Tatzig.
Reinvere wrote his own libretto based on Henrik Ibsen’s play, and the opera is the composer’s exciting interpretation of this famous national epic. The world premiere in Norwegian translation took place in 2014 in Oslo. It was a commission by the Norwegian National Opera sparked off by the success of Reinvere’s first opera, Purge (Puhdistus), to the libretto by Sofi Oksanen.
