The action pits the crushing 17th-century discipline of Prussian military society against the Der Prinz von Homburg resonates powerfully with Hans Werner aspirational dreams of the Prince; Henze’s score responds with Henze’s pacifist perspective. The opera is based on a play by his hallmark blend of serial and tonal styles. Heinrich von Kleist that opposes authority, celebrating a dreamer ● This production from the Staatsoper Stuttgart rather than a classical hero, and individualist freedom rather than could not be in better hands than conductor militarist nationalism.
