Description:

Reimann's opera "The Unseen" is based on three short plays by Maeterlinck. The first part, "The Intruder," tells the story of a mother after a difficult birth. At night, an "invisible thing" visits her house, which lasts until her death. In "The Chamber," dreams and nightmares take place in the living rooms of the bourgeoisie, and in "The Death of Tintagir," people dare to look away from their helplessness in the face of the inevitable fact of death. Of course, these subjects were not used as they were, but were organically combined and presented as a single world in Lyman's own script. The title of "The Unseen," which has many meanings, premiered in October 2017 to great acclaim, but in fact, from the dress rehearsal on October 5 to the world premiere on October 8, 22.25, several acoustic incidents occurred and correction sessions were held. In addition, Runnicles became suddenly ill, and his assistant, Ido Arad, had to take his place at short notice, and this recording was finally completed. This recording, which came about through various difficulties, poses a sharp question to people today. Naxos Japan
