Landscape Opera Ulrichsberg

The work comprises seven acts. Its subject matter is the small Austrian town of Ulrichsberg and its surrounding landscape. Each act represents a completely different and independent event, and each act is its own art form (planting trees, walking, rehearsal, concert, exhibition, etc.). The contents of the work are detailed in the programme pamphlet ‘Peter Ablinger: Lanschaftsoper Ulrichsberg’, Jazz Atelier Ulrichsberg, 2009. (An English translation of a brief overview of each act is also provided.)
