Moby-Dick: performance
Who does not know the story of mad Captain Ahab, who single-mindedly pursues Moby-Dick, the White Whale who - once upon a time - has bitten off his leg?
Raoul Gehringer’s opera puts the drama of 19th century whaling onto the stage: the sea, storms and a whale hunt, in which - in this version - Moby prewhales.
