Repertoire Note
For his first opera libretto, director David Bösch has given the classic story of D'Artagnan and the musketeers a good shake-up. The role of the horse Holgär is an entertaining emcee who guides us through the story in a child-friendly and humorous way, while at the same time being part of the story and the musketeer society himself. For one character, the author and director drew inspiration from a completely different universe: The character of Master Wu, who supports and confuses Porthos with enigmatic advice, is based on the animated series Ninjago.
