Makropoulos Case 1992-06-22

Type(s): Opera performance

Comment
- My last chance to hear Makropoulos this season: irresistible, especially with cheap tickets because NRK is filming. That last act... Elina's monologue, where she finally tells the truth and realizes that it is better to die than to go on living a life of emotional amputation, continually changing her identity and looking on as her friends and lovers age and die around her. You really do feel so sorry for her, just like Janáček said we would. And now for the rest of his operas...
