- Summary:
- Melancholia is now much more than a celebrated film by Lars von Trier, starring Kirsten Dunst and Charlotte Gainsbourg in the lead roles: thanks to Swedish composer Mikael Karlsson, it is now also a fabulous, thought-provoking opera! After several successful collaborations with choreographer Alexander Ekman, Karlsson teamed up with Canadian librettist Royce Vavrek to create this contemporary gem. Justine (soprano Lauren Snouffer) is preparing to be married when she witnesses the giant planet Melancholia leaving its orbit, threatening to enter into a world-ending collision with Earth. Her sister Claire (mezzo-soprano Rihab Chaieb) tries in vain to console Justine, while their mother (Anne Sofie von Otter, bringing her usual masterful intensity) does nothing to calm the bride-to-be. As the apocalyptic meeting between the planets begins to appear inevitable, will Justine manage to escape her numbness in time?.
