Anglais - Aloha, love! Hawaii on the stage of the Komische Oper
[…] Hawaiian instruments such as the banjo and Hawaiian guitar, known for its distinctive singing tone. The plot is - how could it be otherwise - about love. And not just about one couple, but three. At the end of the 19th century, Hawaii was still an independent kingdom, although there were already very strong American economic interests, especially in agriculture. These facts inspired Paul Abraham and his librettists Emmerich Földes, Alfred Grünwald and Fritz Löhner-Beda to invent a ludicrous comedy: Princess Laya, who has returned home from fashionable France, wants to seek out her prince Lilo-Taro, who was already promised to her as a child, marry him and secure the kingdom accordingly.

At the end of World War II, a new centre of gravity for contemporary music was created in the town of Darmstadt, thanks to the Internationale Ferienkurse für Neue Musik. During the 50s, these summer courses were not only attracting all of the most important figures in modern music, but also serving as propulsive energy through the opportunities that such high level meetings, lessons and exchange would put in place. Darmstadt soon became some sort of breeding ground for the generation of the 20s, represented by Masters like Boulez, Nono, Stockhausen, Feldman, Maderna and Ligeti, who were able to envisage new structural developments for serialism starting from its more advanced webernian philosophy.
