The Austrian tenor with Italian-Persian roots, Sascha Zarrabi, currently an ensemble member at the Hessisches Staatstheater Wiesbaden, will perform at the Staatsoper Hannover in Ben Frost’s opera The Halit Yozgat Case, premiered in 2022. Australian composer, producer, sound artist, and director Ben Frost uses the NSU murder of Halit Yozgat and the societal handling of its consequences as a basis to examine our cultural value system. The opera raises questions about our collective historical responsibility, which remain as relevant as ever. How can justice be achieved when truth is constantly reconstructed?
