DAS KLEINE Mädchen mit den Schwefelhölzern (THE Little Match Girl) at Teatro Colón

We will be offered with the absolute premiere of The Little Match Girl, an opera by
Helmut Lachenmann based upon the classic story by Hans Christian Andersen.
Through a stream of consciousness playing around with meteorological situations
and Leonardo Da Vinci’s texts, we are presented with cold, darkness, heat, wind,
volcanoes, and music depicting freezing as a metaphor of society’s indifference
towards the individual. Lachenmann will visit Argentina for the first time in over
thirty years to supervise the rehearsals and perform as narrator.
