Jakob Lenz

T0460551075
Jakob Lenz, Wolfgang Rihm's second chamber opera, has been described as 'the exploration of an obsession in sound'. It tells the story of nineteen days during which writer Jakob Michael Reinhold Lenz stayed with a pastor, Johann Oberlin, in a pastoral mountain setting, hoping to overcome his schizophrenia. Through it Rihm explores the abuse society inflicted upon schizophrenics and explores the extremity of the condition.
