About
Wolfgang Mitterer’s opera Massacre, inspired by The Massacre at Paris by Christopher Marlowe, was premiered in 2003. Mitterer does not represent the entire Elizabethan play that depicts the events of the Saint Bartholomew’s Day massacre. The structure of the work draws on the savagery of the massacre via the simulation of human masses, commands, judgments and battle cries that explode throughout the majority of the eighteen sequences that make up the opera.
