George Benjamin: Lessons In Love And Violence – Barbara Hannigan

Lessons in love and violence (Oper in 2 Akten)
It’s nothing to do with loving a man (1. Akt)
Not when you grip my neck
Don’t call him nothing
Who are these people, Mortimer?
My husband dies
Bring me a cup of vinegar
Why do the poor sleep three in a bed
How can I love?
Here – look – is my baby king
Please, everyone be seated
I’m cold. I was dreaming
Why should you love him, tell me?
Then stay in the dark
D’you like dogs (2. Akt)
Let the man in
When a man will be cut into pieces
Drumming – I can hear drumming
Oh, I am a bad person
Take it, Mortimer
Here – look, is the living king
Why do I feel nothing
What is the music?
Let me explain to you the entertainment
