Evocation through music in Timisoara – The World Premiere of Romanian Revolution: 1989, an opera by Aaron Garber

Summary/Abstract: he initiative of American composer Aaron Garber to evoke through music some pictures inspired by the reality of a remarkable historical event, started in Timișoara on the 30th anniversary of the Romanian Revolution in 1989 and materialized into a world premiere of an opera bearing the same title. The stage performance of Romanian Revolution: 1989 premiere was provided by students and teachers of the Faculty of Music and Theater at the West University of Timișoara and successfully brought back to the memory of the music-loving public of Timișoara, present in the hall of the Romanian National Opera, the events of those hot days in December 1989. The work itself is a unique composition; the recreation of the historical event takes place during two symmetrically constructed acts with nine scenes each that complete a "huge puzzle" of frames, just like a film. The feelings and emotions of those historical days were expressed through stage expressiveness, through the youthful yet mature manner of interpretation of the protagonists, from soloists to choir and orchestra, the work proposed by Garber being an opera mainly built on ensemble musical numbers.
