Fiery Angel 

Submission for the scholarship Akademie Musiktheater heute 

​

The stage settting shows what appears to be a typical family house, one with the power of its own will to work for or against its inhabitants. In my interpretation, Renata, the opera's protagonist, is a victim of a traumatic and abusive childhood who continuously suffers from a loss of reality. The Fiery Angel is not a real angel, he is the devil in person form. The house is a mixture of a place of refuge and a horrible memory. The walls and ceilings move, creating new rooms which will either crush or set the actors free.
