Brilliant...Megalomaniac...Unstageable – these are just some of the words that have been used to describe the mammoth and radical opera cycle written by the legendary and controversial composer Karlheinz Stockhausen. This magnum opus recreates Stockhausen’s musical universe staged and performed by The Dutch National Opera against the backdrop of his dramatic life story.
