In 2011, the composer Georg Friedrich Haas and his librettist Händl Klaus created an opera for four singers, 14 actors and a symphony orchestra, about a real estate transaction: Nadja putting her deceased parents' house up for sale. A beautiful house in Lower Austria, whose bloody secrets we gradually learn: Nadja was abused by her father as a child, and her mother killed her husband before slitting her own throat. Nadja herself is now incapable of love. The voices of Nadja, the dead parents and the estate agent merge with the polyphony of the actors and strange sounds from the orchestra pit to create a surprisingly original drama. German director Claus Guth interweaves the heartbreaking laments of women doomed to hell because they do not know how to love, a madrigal and a court ballet by Claudio Monteverdi with the original score, like an intimate memory from centuries past.
