For soprano, viola and piano Text compiled by the composer Based on the original English text by William Shakespeare and the German translation by August Wilhelm Schlegel Partitur und Stimmen - P/ST - soprano, viola and piano - English - German composer: Jost, Christian text writer: Shakespeare, William translator: Schlegel, August Wilhelm
'Hamlet-Echos' comes from the full-length opera 'Hamlet' in which Christian Jost interprets Shakespeare's tragedy as 'story of a surreal journey inward'. By having Hamlet sing in a female voice, Jost emphasizes the universal validity of this statement. The intentional bilingualism stands for Hamlet's inner dialogue in which the viola part joins commentating.
