Hungarian composer and conductor Peter Eötvös created this contemporary opera for the Opéra de Lyon, performed under conductor Kent Nagano and released on Deutsche Grammophon in 1999. Eötvös's operatic language is modern and orchestrally inventive - drawing on his deep knowledge of both classical tradition and contemporary compositional techniques. The Three Sisters showcases his gift for creating vocal lines that are both singable and dramatically compelling, set within complex orchestral textures. The Deutsche Grammophon recording lets you hear every instrumental detail with clarity. This is contemporary opera that doesn't abandon melody or emotion, but rather reframes them through a modern sensibility. For serious opera listeners and contemporary classical music enthusiasts, this is an important work.
