The contemporary German composer York Höller turned “The Master and Margarita”, a novel by Mikhail Afanasyevich Bulgakov, into a libretto which he then set to music, using a bewildering variety of styles and forms. The resulting opera, “Der Meister und Margarita”, is now being produced by conductor André de Ridder and director Valentin Schwarz at the Oper Köln. Matthias Hoffmann sings the part of Korovyev, Assistant to the magician Voland.
