The one-act opera is a blatant indictment of the insanity of war and the cruelty of the Nazi regime and portrays an almighty and deranged Kaiser who could only be unseated by the suspension of the natural order of life and death.
Performance translations provided by Kim P. Witman, by arrangement with Wolf Trap Opera.
