The dialogues should counterbalance the tightening of the piece, establishing transitions […] so that the opera performers have more characterising and enriching aspects available to them, as in the original, where the irony was omnipresent. […] Thus a free space that is not bound to the musical course of events reveals itself, in which we can rediscover the figures beyond the clichés of the afterlife. […] Six people, one play, love, desperation and death. (Philipp Kochheim)
