Description
As in Wolkenstein, the centre of the church opera Augustinus is also a historical figure who lived and was influential in a time of upheaval and radical social and political changes. Augustinus, philosopher, church teacher and bishop, was born in the year 354 in Tagaste (Numidia, North Africa) and died Hippo Regius in 430. In seven tessellated scenes this opera follows selected stages of this eminent scholar’s life. He helped shape the world view of both the ancient world and the beginning of the middle ages with his writings. The opera starts with scenes of Augustinus’ youth and his first work as a professor of rethoric in Milan and concentrates on the psychological development that led to his spiritual awakening. The last scene ends with a text from the famous Confessiones: ‘he who is searching for God, will find him, and he who finds him, will confess him’. The libretto was written in collaboration with Augustinus’ specialist Winfried Böhm.
