Alma Deutscher To Compose New Opera For Salzburg Landestheater

By Francisco Salazar

The Salzburg Landestheater has commisioned Alma Deutscher for a new opera.

The 14 year-old composer will write “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” which is slated to have its premiere in 2022.

The new work will mark her third opera following her successful “Cinderella” and “The Sweeper of Dreams. ”

Deustcher wrote her first opera in 2012 and premiered it in Israel in 2013. “Cinderella” followed with a full premiere in 2016 in Vienna. The work was given its American premiere at Opera San Jose and it was later released on DVD via Sony Classical. The opera is scheduled to make its Salzburg Landestheater debut this coming season.

Deutscher recently made her Carnegie Hall debut and recently received the European Culture Prize at the Vienna State Opera, the Beijing Music Festival Young Artist Award and was chosen as one of the 12 “Heroes of Tomorrow” in a German Magazine.
