The fifteenth full Opera from the prolific Hans Werner Henze, and the first to feature a self-penned libretto. After the poems he wrote for his Songs from the Arabian, Henze has produced this unusal tale through adapting both Arab and Persian legends and invoking the same half-real, half-imaginary Arabia as the song cycle. The story itself is a fairy tale comedy with much in common with The Magic Flute. The orchestral arrangement is huge, featuring quadruple wind, five percussionists and a part for tape.

'I. Frosche wunschen sich einen Konig. Sie missverstehen die Warnung Jupiters vor diesem dummen Wunsch, darauf schickt er ihnen einen Kranich, der sie frisst. II. Fruher konnten die Krahen wunderschon singen. Doch als sie versuchen, das modische Gewiehere von Pferden nachzuahmen, verlieren sie diese Fahigkeit. III. Eine Schiffsgesellschaft gerat in einen Seesturm und fleht zu den Gottern um Hilfe. Nach dem schadlos uberstandenen Seegang lachen sie in der wiedergewonnenen Lebensfreude alle Autoritaten aus und feiern ein ausgelassenes Fest.' (Einfuhrungstext im Programmheft des Jugendmusikfestes Deutschlandsberg 1991) 'Dies sind drei Lehrstucke oder Schulopern, komponiert Anfang 1967 fur das Musikfest in Cincinnati, wo sie im Mai 1968 uraufgefuhrt wurden. Ich stelle mir vor, dass sie in Musikschulen, Opernstudios und Colleges aufgefuhrt werden konnen, konzertant oder szenisch. [...] Das erste Lehrstuck handelt von der Schwierigkeit, die Vorzuge anarchistischer Lebensweise zu erkennen, das zweite vom Modernismus und das dritte vom schnellen Vergessen einer Gesellschaft, die glaubt, noch einmal davongekommen zu sein. Jedes der drei Operchen ist in Nummern aufgeteilt, es sind Kurzformen, kleine Arien, Rezitative, Chorensembles.' (Hans Werner Henze)

Composer's Notes: This piece, written during the winter months of 2000-2001, consists of one movement, Allegro con fuoco, in which an old score is revisited, raided and ravished by its composer. The earlier music had been written in the mid-fifties for a stage work Maratona di Danza and for its maker, the director Luchino Visconti. Elements from the older piece reappear on and off like shadows under the surface of new ones, like more or less vague memories, images of young people suffering pain and despair in their struggle for survival in a barbaric, pitiless modern world. My new composition is a kind of concerto for very large symphony orchestra, an etude on constant and often rapid musical changes of mood and colours, built on a variety of rhythmic figures, incessantly and brutally pushing the music ahead. Sometimes, it is as though voices are weeping, sometimes crying out loud with pain, with anxiety, under the cold hearted pressure of an overwhelming violence. Hans Werner Henze Commissioned on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of das neue werk, Hamburg. Premiered on 29th June 2001. Duration 15 minutes.
