What is the secret of eternal youth? \u013dubica \u010cekovsk\u00e1\u2019s operatic version of Oscar Wilde\u2019s timelessly relevant story about appearance versus reality receives its premiere on 18 April 2026 in the Eduard-von-Winterstein-Theater in Annaberg-Buchholz. The opera \u201cDorian Gray\u201d to a libretto by Kate Pullinger was premiered in 2013 in Bratislava. Now it is being performed for the first time in Annaberg-Buchholz in a reduced version with a German translation by Samuel C. Zinsli. At the centre stands the title figure, torn between two worlds: the bright, glamorous society and the dark, shadowy underworld of the London docks with its depths of sex, drugs and gambling. \u201cDorian belongs to two separate worlds\u201d, says the librettist, \u201cthis dualism shapes the entire libretto of the opera.\u201d The conductor is Dieter Klug, and producer is Vera Nemirova. \u013dubica \u010cekovsk\u00e1\u2019s music can also be heard in Erfurt: on 2 and 3 April 2026 the Erfurt Philharmonic Orchestra performs \u201cAdorations\u201d conducted by Christopher Ward.
