Heinz Holliger

Schneewittchen

Heinz Holliger's first full-length opera presents a profound and innovative interpretation of the Snow White story, with a libretto based on the version by Swiss writer Robert Walser. The world premiere at the Zurich Opera House was a resounding success and was particularly praised for its dynamism, inventiveness, humor, and psychological depth. Soprano Juliane Banse delivered a compelling and exceptionally inspired performance in the title role. This recording in the New Series features the original ensemble conducted by the composer himself.
