Freebird Opera presenterar “Det långa seklet” - en nyskriven kammaropera i två akter med musik av den internationellt hyllade kompositören Andrea Tarrodi. Libretto och regi av Malmöregissören och dramatikern Helena Röhr. Urpremiär på Bastionen i Malmö 13 oktober 2023.
I “Det långa seklet” följer vi huvudpersonen Vita på hennes vandring genom 100 år av ett Sverige i förändring. Från när svenska kvinnor fick rösträtt år 1921, till den ovissa nutidens och framtidens möjligheter. Den drömlika resan i många skepnader gestaltas av fem operasångare och fem musiker i en poetisk, sjungen vandring. Det är en berättelse om en kvinna som representerar många kvinnor: De vars arbete har burit Sverige framåt som nation och samhälle, samtidigt som de har burit fram sig själva genom sorg och kärlek, arbete, fest och kamp.

With strong parallels to today, as we are faced with a European Union that is struggling with unity, rulers balancing on the edge of the laws of democracy and a pandemic that has changed the world, the opera is based on the nordic common history, and focuses on powerful women of the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Women, like a golden braid, are intertwined in long chains of knowledge and influence.
With Margrete the First’s Kalmarunion as our starting point, we take a second look at the story and follow the threads that run between queens and women of all trades who contribute to the story of who we are in the Nordic region.
