The millennia-old story of the god-fearing Job, who despite devastating blows of fate does not lose his faith and is ultimately rewarded for his steadfastness, touches on the fundamental questions of our existence. How changeable is our happiness in life? How many arrows and slings of raging fate can man endure? What does he need to get up again? And how much power does religion give?

In Joseph Roth's 1930 novel, which translates the biblical material into the 20th century, Job Mendel is called Singer and is a devoutly religious Jew who lives with his wife and four children in the fictional Zuchnow shtetl in Russia. When his first-born Shemariah emigrated to America and started making money, his parents and sister Miriam caught up with him, but the outbreak of the First World War prevented the family from fulfilling the »American Dream«. Schemariah dies as an American soldier, Jonas, who is fighting for the Russian army, is missing, Mendel's wife Deborah dies of despair, Mirjam falls ill with a psychosis. Mendel's love and hope rest on his youngest son Menuchim, whom he left behind in his old homeland due to his mental disability.

In their opera, composed for the Stadttheater Klagenfurt, Bernhard Lang and Michael Sturminger transfer the »musicality of language« of Joseph Roth, as stated by Stefan Zweig, into impressive music-theatrical images and sound worlds. The high-contrast atmosphere is characterized by Mendel's meditative-religious music as well as by snappy klezmer and the hopeful, rich swing sound of the New World.

English

Die Jahrtausende alte Geschichte des gottesfürchtigen Hiob, der trotz vernichtender Schicksalsschläge seinen Glauben nicht verliert und am Ende für seine Standfestigkeit belohnt wird, berührt die Grundfragen unserer Existenz. Wie wechselhaft ist unser Lebensglück? Wie viele Pfeile und Schleudern des wütenden Geschicks vermag der Mensch zu erdulden? Was braucht er, um sich wieder aufzurichten? Und wie viel Kraft gibt dabei die Religion?

In Joseph Roths 1930 erschienenem Roman, der den biblischen Stoff ins 20. Jahrhundert übersetzt, heißt Hiob Mendel Singer und ist ein streng religiöser Jude, der mit seiner Frau und vier Kindern im fiktiven Schtetl Zuchnow in Russland lebt. Als sein Erstgeborener Schemarjah nach Amerika auswandert und zu Geld kommt, holt dieser seine Eltern und die Schwester Mirjam nach, doch der Ausbruch des Ersten Weltkriegs verhindert für die Familie die Erfüllung des »American Dream«. Schemarjah fällt als amerikanischer Soldat, der für die russische Armee kämpfende Jonas wird vermisst, Mendels Frau Deborah stirbt darüber an Verzweiflung, Mirjam erkrankt an einer Psychose. Mendels Liebe und Hoffnung ruhen auf seinem jüngsten Sohn Menuchim, den er aufgrund seiner geistigen Behinderung in der alten Heimat zurückgelassen hat.

In ihrer für das Stadttheater Klagenfurt komponierten Oper überführen Bernhard Lang und Michael Sturminger die von Stefan Zweig konstatierte »Musikalität der Sprache« Joseph Roths in eindrucksvolle musiktheatrale Bilder und Klangwelten. Die kontrastreiche Atmosphäre wird dabei von der meditativ-religiösen Musik Mendels ebenso geprägt wie von schmissigem Klezmer und dem hoffnungsvoll-satten Swing-Klang der Neuen Welt.
