Schreker's 'Die Gezeichneten' with Künzli, Adam, Davis and Babajanyan from Hannover

Schreker's 'Die Gezeichneten' (The Branded or The Stigmatized) is an opera in three acts with a German-language libretto by the composer, based on the 1904 play Hidalla by German playwright Frank Wedekind. The opera is set in 16th-century Genoa. The young Genoan nobleman Alviano Salvago, hunchbacked and deformed, does not dare dream of the love of women. He wants to donate to the people of Genoa the island paradise called 'Elysium' he has created. Performers:

Duke Antoniotto Adorno / Capitano: Stefan Adam.
Count Andrea Vitelozzo Tamare: Brian Davis.
