FANNY UND SCHRAUBE (FANNY AND SCREW)
Full-Length Chamber Opera in Three Acts
The heart-warming love story of a truly odd couple. Screw is up to no good
when, coming from Hamburg, he descends upon Berlin with his lackey, Ignaz.
The painter Fanny meanwhile sits in her old building in Berlin, a bit unworldly.
As so often, things develop quite differently from the way one would have
expected. Among other reasons, this is due to the meddling of Zeva, a freelance
squatter. Russian oligarchs and not least Svetlana, gallery owner from St.
Petersburg, play significant roles. In the end, at any rate, a decrepit barge
will leave the Berlin Landwehr Canal behind It, departing for the sea. Also
on board: Fanny and Screw.

"What is fascinating about this music is that reminiscences of other works and stylistic directions seem to develop absolutely organically out of the composer's own musical language; it is thus as if music history were being transported in a whiff of an allusion in this Piano Quartet."
