Information
The composer Hans Gál, born in Lower Austria in 1890, experienced his breakthrough in 1923 with the premiere of his satirical fairytale opera Die heilige Ente. This work became a real hit on the theater stages at the time. However, due to his Jewish descent, Gál's glittering career came to an abrupt end after the National Socialists came to power, forcing him to emigrate to England.
The Linz Landestheater would like to commemorate this long-forgotten composer by bringing The Holy Duck back to the Austrian stage. The plot plunges into the distant world of a fairytale China, where the gods cause confusion among the people out of sheer boredom. The pivotal points of the story are a lively quacking duck that suddenly goes missing, the power of love, the power of opium and some pretty crazy gods.
