Blanche DuBois, subtle and a little over-excited, has left her failed life behind. With a suitcase in her hand, she seeks refuge with her sister Stella, who lives with her husband, the Polish-born laborer Stanley, in a simple two-room apartment in New Orleans. Very soon, social differences cause their life together to escalate. Blanche takes refuge in alcohol and lies - until one day disaster strikes.
Tennessee Williams' 1947 drama describes a country in upheaval and uses the example of Stanley and Blanche to show the brutality of changing times. The setting by German-American composer André Previn from 1998 is an opera that strikes a chord with the times and gets under your skin with its emotionality.
"'Endstation Sehnsucht', written in 1947 as a play about the epochal change in the USA, is today a question about the final destination of our longing for a free, open America."
Ulrich Mokrusch, director
