Bariton Christoph Pohl in der Hauptrolle wurde zu Recht gefeiert. Er singt mit oratorischem Verschwörerton.

The tone of the opera quickly changed as the aging Johannes entered through the door on stage. German baritone Christoph Pohl, tall, lanky and with beard, had a quiet but magnetic presence that immediately commanded attention. His voice, unassuming and yet gentle, gradually gathered strength as Johannes, his spirit on the day of his death still lingering, tried to make sense of his strange new existence. He reminisced about his dead wife, his devoted daughter and his dead friend, Peter. His anguished cry as he sang of his loneliness after his wife’s passing, “I am alone!” was heartbreaking. In a relatively short period of time (the entire opera is only 90 minutes long without intermission), Mr Pohl managed to create a complete character, an ordinary human being who lived a good life filled with love, and who now prepared to transition to the new phase.
