On April 16th there is going to be the premiere of Beat Furrer's opera "Begehren" in South America at Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires. Beat Furrer as well as Juan Martín Miceli are going to conduct the performance of Cantando Admont and the ensemble of Teatro Colón. The libretto is based on texts by Cesare Pavese, Günter Eich, Ovid and Vergil and written by Beat Furrer, Christine Huber and Wolfgang Hofer. "Begehren" presents Orpheus and Euridice as "He" and "She", who move gradually from one discourse to another, in what is a parable about the dialectic of isolation, set in a no man's land.
