Work introduction
STILLHANG is the story of the Bavarian comedienne Liesl Karlstadt, who finds her way back to life after a suicide attempt and the subsequent long-term stay in a psychiatric hospital by spending "the best time of her life" in the years from 1941 to 1943 with a Tyrolean mountain troops unit on the Ehrwalder Alm.
The opera STILLHANG was awarded the Austrian Music Theater Prize 2020 in the category "Best Premiere / First Performance".
Version 2023: for one female singer and eight male singers.
