Unsuk Chin: Alice In Wonderland Opera

Sally Matthews, Piia Komsi, Dietrich Henschel & Gwyneth Jones Bayerische Staatsoper, Kent Nagano

Recorded live at the Nationaltheater München, 27 June 2007

The rather conventional Alice starts following her dreams, meeting a white rabbit that guides her through a wonderland. Alice views it all with amazement and learns – finally returning to the real world, richer for the experience. Korean composer Unsuk Chin wrote this opera based on the famous and fascinatingly enigmatic novel by Lewis Carroll. Alice in Wonderland: modern music that pleases the ear. Modern opera – seductive, enchanting, sensuous – a triumph of creative fantasy. Kent Nagano, a long-time supporter of Chin’s music, expertly conducted the Bavarian State Opera. The fairy-tale settings and production are in the hands of Achim Freyer. Only white rabbits guide us better through Wonderland – a feast of audiovisual entertainment! The World première caused a sensation among music critics worldwide!
