Reclaiming Expressionism: Hindemith's Operatic Triptych.
- Authors
Boucher, Daniel
- Abstract
This article explores the premiere of Paul Hindemith's operatic triptych in Frankfurt in 1922. The triptych consists of three one-act operas that delve into themes of eroticism and sexuality, influenced by the expressionist movement. The performances sparked controversy and protests from Catholic groups, but were well-received by the audience and recognized for their importance in the evolution of German art. The article also delves into the wider cultural debates surrounding expressionism in Germany during this period, highlighting the role of Frankfurt as a hub for expressionist works.
