Peter Evotvos: Tri Sestry (Three Sisters) - Live From Frankfurt

Peter Eötvös (b. 1944) is one of the most renowned Hungarian composers and conductors of our time. The libretto for his Tri sestry ('Three Sisters') was written by Claus H. Henneberg, together with the composer, and the opera is based on Chekhov's 1901 play of the same name. The production is directed by conductor Dennis

Russell Davies and his co-conductor, Frankfurt Kapellmeister Nikolai Petersen. Oper Frankfurt followed the composer's original intentions for the three sisters, casting internationally successful countertenors in the roles: American Ray Chenez as Irina, Canadian David D. Q. Lee as Mascha, and the Russian Dmitry Egorov as Olga. 'All three countertenors worked conclusively and vocally differentiated the characteristic peculiarities of their character. And yet, as a trio, they were just as wonderful together.' - Bachtrack.com
