Kafka’s America lands in Zurich
OperaTo mark the centennial of Franz Kafka’s death, the Zurich Opera are taking the bold step of staging an opera based on his literary fragment ‘Amerika’ by the Polish-Austrian composer Roman Haubenstock-Ramati.
The work has only been seen three times before. Its twice-exiled composer died in 1994.
The Zurich premiere is on March 3 and there is a planned run of seven performances until mid-April.
