Only the Sound Remains is a fascinating piece that weaves together music and performance in a unique way. Premiering at the Dutch National Opera, it’s a double bill that’s deeply inspired by Japanese aesthetics. The atmosphere is ethereal, with Kaija Saariaho's haunting score guiding you through a dreamlike exploration of themes like loss and memory. The pacing feels deliberate, giving the audience time to absorb the intricate layers of sound and visual artistry. The performances are striking, almost otherworldly, drawing you into a meditative state. It’s not just an opera; it's an experience that lingers with you long after the final note fades. It really stands out due to its blend of contemporary and traditional influences, making it a compelling watch for anyone interested in modern opera.
