Description
An opera by Margo Kõlar and Ivar Põllu, based on August Kitzberg’s play
A pretty ordinary love story.
Girl likes boy, boy likes girl. Of course, there is a small nuance: the girl is not of his kind at all. And one more nuance: there is another girl who also likes the boy. So, it can’t end well – and a witch hunt begins.
Of course, the boy could put his foot down and form his own opinions and decisions, not let himself be tossed around by the women. But how can you know what is right if for centuries your kind have been bred to be miserable subordinates? And who is the boy to decide something himself?
Werewolf is the first production by Ivar Põllu, the creative director of Tartu New Theatre, at the Vanemuine Theatre. However, it’s not the first time for the Tartu theatre audiences to see an opera directed by Põllu: Alo Põldmäe’s chamber opera Nightingales of River Emajõgi premiered in Tartu New Theatre in 2019.
