Erwartung / The Murderous Delusions of Gavrilo K: A Double Bill
Arcola Theatre, Studio 1, E8 3DL , [Venue Details]Would you kill one man to save a billion others?
Gavrilo K believes he did, but for the murder of his country’s President he will now be tried and punished. The State’s chief psychiatrist must determine his sanity, but what she discovers makes her question her own.
Kevin Rodgers’ opera The Murderous Delusions of Gavrilo K, first premiered in 2025, explores violence and sanity in a two-act electroacoustic “neo-verismo” chamber work for four singers.
It is coupled with Arnold Schoenberg’s psychologically intense Erwartung from 1909 – one of “the great monuments of modernism” – performed in semi-staged format, featuring Rodgers’ brand-new electronic re-orchestration of this rarely seen work.
Featuring visuals from some of Britain’s most exciting young video artists, Erwartung / The Murderous Delusions of Gavrilo K brings two powerful works together in a stirring double bill.
Music by Arnold Schoenberg / Kevin Rodgers
Libretto by Marie Pappenheim / Kevin Rodgers
Directed by Valeria Perboni
