Michel Friedman in conversation with well known personalities, from all walks of life, about the relevance to, and impact on our lives, and questions raised by certain operas during the season.
FREEDOM & Magnard's Guercœur
Albéric Magnard dwelt on questions about human finiteness and fragility of democratic systems in his opera. Guercœur, who died as a freedom fighter, is allowed to leave Heaven and return to earth after his death, only to witness his pupil renounce his ideals and become a dictator. If you understand a bit of German you might be interested in hearing Michael Friedman discussing these subjects with Herfried Münkler, a respected political scientist.
