The premiere performance will unfold under the musical direction of conductor Gernot Sahler.The event program kicks off at 5:00 PM in the Max Schlereth Saal with an intimate artist talk, offering behind-the-scenes insights into the composition and staging processes. Following the talk, Rector Constanze Wimmer will host a drinks reception in the university foyer at 5:30 PM to welcome returning graduates and retired faculty before the curtains rise for the main opera performance at 7:00 PM. Eligible attendees are required to reserve their seats in advance via the university’s dedicated alumni alliance network email.
