Her tragic destiny inspired the unfinished chamber opera (libretto: Elisabeth Gutjahr) – <em>Wiegenlied </em>is at the heart of the first scene. It´s a “lullaby“ to a dead mother; I inserted a recitativo on words from the diary of the mourning Elly into the text – an expression of the torture of bad conscience. At the end there is a quotation of Chopin´s <em>Berceuse.</em></p><br>\n        <em>(author, in: Bulletin Melos-Ethos 1997, p. 50)</em><br>\n        <br>\n        \n\n        <p>\n                \n                <p><strong>First performance abroad</strong></p>\n                \n                15.10.1991,\n                DE\n\n<br><span class=\"type\">Performers: </span>Adelheid Peper (a), Cordula Hacke (pf)\n                <br>\n                <p><strong>First performance in Slovakia</strong></p>\n                \n                \n                09.11.1997,\n                Melos-Ethos,\n                Mirror Hall of the Primate's Palace,\n                Bratislava,\n                SK\n\n<br><span class=\"type\">Performers: </span>Denisa Šlepkovská (a), Daniel Buranovský (pf)\n                <br>\n\n\n            </p>\n    </div>\n"}
