The Soldier’s Tale A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

This joint production of Zagreb’s Academy of Dramatic Art, Academy of Fine Arts and the Music Academy comes to the Opera Exam Festival organized by the Budapest Liszt Academy. Stravinsky’s classic set in the First World War, The Soldier’s Tale, is a true cross-arts production, here performed by artists from Zagreb. It tells the tale of the soldier who sells his soul to the devil. The performance raises questions as to what counts as success in today’s society, about whether our goals are achievable, and whether we are able to conquer our own ambitions. Virtuoso acting is allied to the virtuoso playing of some extremely testing instrumental parts, in order to truly bring to life this thought-provoking and entertaining Faustian story.
