The Angel of the Odd Presented by Liszt Academy

Strange coincidences can happen to anyone. We don’t always attribute significance to them; quite often we do not even think of them as real. Perhaps it was just an absurd dream, or hallucinations caused by too much blue cheese. However, when a disturbing and incredible coincidence, generally called a misfortune, upsets our plans and we no longer feel secure, then the following questions arise: ‘why me?’, ‘who is behind this?’, and ‘where was my guardian angel?’ The opera production of the Poznan University of Arts seeks answers to these very questions in the work by Geneva-born Bruno Coli, the basis for which is the satirical novel of the same name by Edgar Allan Poe. Coli is one of the busiest theatrical composers of our day, having composed several operas, musicals and theatrical soundtracks.
