Dark Spring (Oper) (Gesamtaufnahme) Thomalla, Hans This dress is not too short Boys! Boys! Melchior Gabor, he told me once he does not believe in anything. He told me once I'd like to know why we really are on Earth. I am telling you this place is a dark wood Wendla, I keep thinking I can hold you in a name It's me Would you like to beat me? Zwischenmusik 1 One must, one must, one must love! I don't know, I don't care! I passed, I passed, I passed! I feel so strangely spiritualized Here is where you've hidden yourself! Don't kiss me, Melchior! Zwischenmusik 2 Don't you sleep? I have no desire I do not know, indeed I do not know Zwischenmusik 3 All day it looked like rain but did not rain What are you hunting, what have you lost? Why did you frighten me so? Do you remember how we used to play? I must go. It's getting dark Zwischenmusik Be cheerful, Wendla, be cheerful!

Alan Pierson (Dir) // "Dark Spring" ist eine Oper über vier junge Menschen unter extremem Druck: dem Leistungsanspruch in Schule oder Studium, dem Erfolgsdruck im Popularitätsranking des Freundeskreises und nicht zuletzt dem Druck zu einer perfekten Performance in Sexualität und Intimität. Im Zentrum der Oper steht weniger eine lineare Handlung, sondern vielmehr der Versuch in Songs die widersprüchlichen Gefühle zu artikulieren.
