Work introduction
The "Atomblitz Overture", op. 252/1, is the first movement of the "Simä Suite", which uses themes from Alexander Blechinger's opera "Simä - Ein Fest in die Zukunft / A celebration into the future - Der Anfang nach. dem Ende / The beginning after the end" based on the libretto by Elisabeth Schrattenholzer, but which are placed in a new context here. The "Atomblitz Overture" can be used as a prelude to the opera. In the opera, two people in love from two different social classes meet and are prevented from falling in love by society. In addition to the external event of an atomic flash in the opera, which has a cruel effect on its surroundings but is reinterpreted here as an inner sign of change, the following themes, among others, form a new whole: The melancholy of lost love, the disciplining of feelings, the inescapability of the material world, the great love that resonates beyond it, found togetherness and fulfillment. Instrumentation: so-called 2-part instrumentation or Beethoven/Verdi orchestration. Duration: approx. 11 minutes.
