Product Details

Description

Diese Oper beleuchtet den berüchtigten Revolverhelden und Wild-West-Mythos Billy the Kid anhand von Augenzeugen-Berichten, Zeitungsartikeln, Fotos und phantastischen Gedichten. Gavin Bryars und Michael Ondaatje vermischen hier gekonnt die Grenze zwischen Realität und Fiktion und präsentieren damit eine intime, verborgene und mystische Sicht auf die Hauptfigur, die sich von herkömmlichen Erzählungen unterscheidet.
