Mario García Torres has written a libretto specifically for Christoph Homberger, a retired operatic tenor. Its title is an ode to an essay by Richard Wagner, which the composer wrote in Zurich in 1850. Left unsung, with no melodious future, the essay-opera speaks to a desire for deliverance while making a case for societal collapse among the unfolding uncertainties of these crisis-ridden times. A humming accompaniment to the libretto, which allows the tenor’s voice to be imagined.
