over and over vorbei nicht vorbei

A contemporary opera by Ted Hearne directed by Daniel Fish

How do societies deal with violence in their past? And how do the next, younger generations look at the crimes of their ancestors? Using questions from songs from the American and German contexts, over and over nicht vorbei deals with the individual and collective process of remembering and brings two cultures into a dialogue.

The composition by Ted Hearne, directed by Daniel Fish, unites voices from different generations and cultures: the US singers Eliza Bagg and Isaiah Robinson meet Tom Erik Lie, singer of the Komische Oper Berlin, as well as the youth choir of the Berliner Vokalhelden, Ted Hearne's band meets musicians from the orchestra of the Komische Oper Berlin.

As part of the festival Schall&Rausch by Komische Oper Berlin
