Die Weiße Rose was the name taken by a group of students atthe University of Munich led by Sophie and Hans Scholl. They produced leaflets protesting against the National Socialist government of Germany in 1942-3 until they were arrested and guillotined. Soar to Heaven follows twocharacters Wu and Zhou involved on opposite sides of the Cultural Revolution in China. The Oxford Revolution tells the story of James Meredith who fought a lonely battle against segregation and racial prejudice to becomethe first black student to enrol at Ole Miss the University of Mississippi in the USA.Librettist's Note.There are inevitably and properly some differences between the original libretto and whatMax ultimately set to music. Most of these are insignificant but all the Latin texts in the opera were added by Max and texts for the alternating black / white choruses (Scene 19) and final chorus (Scene 28) were written by him.
