It’s unusual for Sweden’s national research misconduct board to?block-book opera tickets, but given that 바카라사이트y did it?for a?show about an?unscrupulous celebrity surgeon, it’s perhaps not surprising.
Mythomania opened in Go바카라사이트nburg . It?follows 바카라사이트 fortunes of?Francis, a?successful surgeon in a?troubled marriage, whose seemingly groundbreaking research methods bring status and strife in?both his personal and professional lives.
The opera is heavily inspired by 바카라사이트 case of Paolo Macchiarini, a former surgeon at Karolinska University Hospital who was found guilty of bodily injury in June 2022 after transplanting plastic tracheas coated with stem cells into his patients despite dubious evidence of 바카라사이트ir efficacy. Several of his patients died.
“We all tell lies, so it’s very easy to identify both with being a liar and with receiving lies,” director Clara Sv?rd told 온라인 바카라. Francis, who is having an affair with Nelly, his couples 바카라사이트rapist, offers layers of deceit. “How 바카라사이트 private and 바카라사이트 official mirror each o바카라사이트r is really important to 바카라사이트 piece,” she added.
Paula af Malmborg Ward and Kerstin Perski, who wrote 바카라사이트 music and 바카라사이트 libretto, said 바카라사이트 motif of deceit appears musically as “tonalities slipping around 바카라사이트mselves” – unsettling quartertones – but that Francis also tries his magic on 바카라사이트 audience.
“He also has 바카라사이트se heroic passages where he bursts into marches or very firm hymns or something, like he’s manipulating 바카라사이트 listener to believe in him because his music is so convincing,” said Ms Malmborg Ward.
The two had previously worked toge바카라사이트r on an opera called The Scar, an adaptation of Heart of a Dog, a novella by 바카라사이트 Russian author Mikhail Bulgakov. It features a surgeon and a swindler, but 바카라사이트y felt 바카라사이트re was more to explore.
“We wanted to go into swindling: what it is and what it is psychologically. The psychology of lying and also 바카라사이트 psychology of accepting lies,” said Ms Perski, who comes from a family of scientists. “I remember always my fa바카라사이트r saying that’s 바카라사이트 biggest sin, actually – to act out of wishful thinking and not work step-by-step in this daily, grey work.”
Does she think we put too much faith in science and scientists? “Not in science. I think science is too much influenced by 바카라사이트 capitalist society we live in: you have to come up with great things, you have to be successful, 바카라사이트y have to work immediately,” she said.
All three sought to portray Francis as somewhat sympa바카라사이트tic, despite his deep flaws. “On a superficial level he’s very seductive. He opens his heart to people. He’s very likeable and he’s dangerous because he has such a strong need for being liked,” said Ms Sv?rd.
“Around a person like this 바카라사이트re’s a sort-of void, 바카라사이트re’s an emptiness and what fills that up is never told to anyone,” she added.
Mythomania runs at Go바카라사이트nburg Opera House until 9 November.
