Der Mond
Ein kleines Welttheater
Libretto vom Komponisten nach dem gleichnamigen Märchen der Gebrüder Grimm
Carl Orff named his stage work ‘Ein kleines Welttheater’ after the fairy tale of the stolen moon by the Brothers Grimm. In his libretto Orff turns the fairy story into something grotesque and burlesque. The cosmic order is out of joint: the Moon is merely treated as a banal object stolen by four louts made to shine for money. When the louts each take a quarter of the moon to their graves, it wakes up the dead.

Description
How did the moon actually get in the sky? A long time ago, four boys stole it from a tree and took it with them down into the underworld. St. Peter took pity on the beautiful orb and hung it up in the sky, well out of the reach of thieves.
It was the Brothers Grimm, with their rich collection of children’s and household tales, who provided the text for Carl Orff ’s work originally intended for the puppet theatre. Orff’s text went far beyond the original story – particularly in the scene in the underworld in which the diction and language of the text are reminiscent of Bertolt Brecht.
Subtitled ‘small world theatre’, the work alternates between farce and mystery play, comedy and tragedy, grotesquery and demonic masquerade. The three locations of the plot – the sky, the earth and the underworld – should be simultaneously visible onstage according to Orff’s concept. The music for Der Mond, which the composer considered as his ‘farewell to Romanticism’, was developed from the world of ideas and music of his educational concept Schulwerk. In the reduced version by Friedrich K. Wanek, Der Mond is also a rewarding challenge for school ensembles with experience in musical and theatrical Performance.
