Lars von Trier’s film Melancholia is the perfect source material for a grand operatic experience. A decadent wedding that ends with the destruction of the Earth, accompanied by the Royal Swedish Orchestra, synthesizers and magnificent voices.
“The most awesome opera in a long time,” wrote the newspaper Expressen on its world première at the Royal Swedish Opera in 2023. Follow the musical apocalypse with Justine’s depression, the approaching planet and Anne Sofie von Otter as the acerbic mother.
Composer Mikael Karlsson and librettist Royce Vavrek have ushered the art form of opera into a new era. With a contemporary soundscape and lyrics that cut straight through the music, they have created an opera that truly delivers a punch to the chest.
