The Makropulos Case: Wiener Philharmoniker (Salonen) (UK-import)
Esa-Pekka Salonen conducts this 2011 Salzburg Festival production by Christoph Marthaler of Leos Janácek's opera on the follies and foibles of eternal life. The mysterious, sexually irresistible Emilia Marty is a prima donna who's done it all and has been living for 337 years. Part grotesque human comedy, part profound personal tragedy, this opera examines the eternal mystery of human existence with uniquely life-enhancing vision.
