Happy Birthday, Péter Eötvös!

International Symposium - Musical theater, instrumental theater in Péter Eötvös’ oeuvre
Edit






Born in Transylvania on January 2, 1944, Péter Eötvös enjoys a varied career as composer, conductor, and teacher. His music, performed by orchestras and festivals the world over, includes—in addition to some 90 major instrumental and vocal works—twelve operas (and two chamber operas) to date, including Three Sisters (1996-1997), Love and Other Demons (2007), Paradise Reloaded (Lilith) (2012/13), Der goldene Drache/Golden Dragon (2013/14), Sleepless (2020) and the latest to be premiered in 2023: Valuska. Since his earliest plays and the soundtracks of his youth, the theatrical, dramaturgical, and visual character of his works has become predominant, even in his instrumental catalog. His music-theater productions (his instrumental and vocal works, then his operas) deserve to be examined from an aesthetic, analytical, and dramaturgical point of view. This symposium will bring together specialists in his music from France, Hungary, Germany, Austria, Portugal, the United States, and China.
