Opera by Jüri Reinvere / libretto by the composer based on the play of the same name by Henrik Ibsen // world premiere of the original German-language version
/ in German with German surtitles

The fear of missing out is more present than ever. Higher, faster, further. Better and better. More and more. We risk being lonely, losing community and a sense of belonging. And becoming egotists. This is exactly what happens to Henrik Ibsen's anti-hero Peer Gynt. He is a braggart whose search for fame, fortune and his own destiny only finds forgiveness and redemption in the love of a woman. The composer and librettist Jüri Reinvere formulates fundamental questions about identity and self-realization in a grand and touching musical language between romanticism and modernity. What does it really mean to be yourself?
