Richard III

Duration : 180'
 
Aesthetically, the music follows the thoughts and structure of the written word, in all its dramatic and bloody-lyrical overflows; we say bloody lyrical because in this work, the composer, with the poetic power of music, masterfully shaped the unfolding of the Great Mechanism (according to Jan Kot) that governs human history.
 
“During this Biennial we had hardly had any examples of truly original Croatian music before the creation of an opera by Igor Kuljerić on Richard III which is certainly one of the most vigorous in recent years.”
