Atterberg's fairy tale opera for adults

A fairy-tale opera for adults - unfortunately hardly performed today - was composed by Kurt Atterberg with his opera "Aladin" on which he worked from 1936-41. The composer does not only lose himself in the exotic, no, his late romantic sound language moves the well-known fairy tale from the collection 1001 Nights almost into our time, however somewhat varied. In Atterberg's and the librettist Bruno Hardt-Warden's work, love is at the beginning, and only then does the magic lamp that fulfills all wishes come into play Aladdin is captivated by the beauty and splendor of the princess Laila, with whom he falls in love. The Staatstheater Braunschweig under the direction of Jonas Alber dared a revival: the opera is worth it. "Veilously beautiful!" (Deutschlandfunk Kultur 3/2017)
