Das Tagebuch der Anne Frank

In the organizer's words:

"Actually, youth is much, much lonelier than old age. The old have their opinions and don't need to waver, because they know where life is going. For us young people, it is doubly difficult to assert our opinions in times like these, when all ideals are shattered, when people are once again doubting truth, justice and God!"
Anne Frank was 15 years old when she wrote these thoughts in her diary on July 15, 1944. Together with her family and friends of her parents, she lived in hiding from the German occupying forces in the rear building of her father's company in Amsterdam. But the hiding place was discovered. Anne and her sister Margot died in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in February/March 1945, her mother Edith was murdered in Auschwitz-Birkenau, where only her father Otto survived the liberation.
Grigori Frid composed an impressive opera for a female singer based on the texts of Anne Frank's diary. His work explores many aspects of Anne's life and emotional world and allows immediate proximity. Patric Seibert has been working on Frid's opus for over 20 years and will be producing his eighth version of "The Diary of Anne Frank" in Halle. This production is aimed at young people aged 14 and over.

This production was made possible thanks to the generous support of the "Freunde der Oper und des Balletts Halle" and SWH. Stadtwerke Halle.
