The first version of The Greek Passion is rarely performed, but it will be presented in Hanover. Its modern realism, extreme drama, lively spoken scenes and commentary make it especially captivating. In her new production of the opera, Czech director Barbora Horákova Joly allows an insight into the moral labyrinth of society and the human soul.
