About Benjamin, dernière nuit
German-Jewish essayist, philosopher, and critic Walter Benjamin were one of the early 20th century's most influential thinkers, a light in the darkness of looming war and political oppression. In Benjamin, dernière nuit, composer Michel Tabachnik and librettist Régis Debray examine this life cruelly cut short by despair in the face of Nazism. Experience the opera here in its highly acclaimed 2016 premiere production at the Lyon Opera.
Directed by John Fulljames, Benjamin, dernière nuit leans on a strong ensemble — Jean-Noël Briend, Sava Lolov, Michaela Kušteková — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about music titles of 2016.
