Sara, Ester, and Miriam are three sisters who have never left the farmhouse where their father and grandmother raised them. They venerate God because they are an extremely Christian family, and fully respect the dogmas and punishments that the Scriptures, and the Old Testament above all, have transmitted to them. They believe in no intermediary, no Church, and no sacred image: Grandma Paolina rises to all those roles that separate them from the Lord’s grace. Adolescence, however, has brought with it questions and physical transformations that have changed the sisters’ outlooks. The doubt that sin has penetrated into their minds and hands is a legitimate one, and each of them responds differently to their first sexual urges. When tragedy strikes the family and their young cousin Primo is forced to come to the farmhouse, the sisters’ lives are forever changed.

Der Schatzgräber

Franz Schreker’s career was cut short by the events of 1933 in Germany but he achieved real fame with his operas, and the huge success of Der Schatzgräber (‘The Treasure Hunter’) in the 1920s was the high point of his career. In a complex and ultimately tragic tale of destructive greed, desire and toxic social hierarchy, the innkeeper’s daughter Els is forced to confront the consequences of her murderous intent in what conductor Marc Albrecht considers ‘a work of exceptional quality, concentration and significance’. Following the huge success of Korngold’s Das Wunder der Heliane (Naxos DVD 2.110584–85 / Blu-ray NBD0083V), director Christof Loy continues his exploration of strong female characters and neglected 20th-century masterpieces with this highly acclaimed Deutsche Oper Berlin production.
