The Diary of Anne Frank

Composer: Grigori Frid
Librettist: Anne Frank
Company: Opera Birmingham

Synopsis

Anne's profound thoughts, her naive joy over a gift or a patch of blue sky, her fear and will to remain courageous, her budding love for Peter, her sense of situation comedy, and hope for freedom — all this finds expression in The Diary of Anne Frank. The libretto, taken from the original diary, is integrated into a musical-lyrical narrative, which shows both the tragedy of the events and the girl's poetic expressive power.
