  3. The idiot


The young Prince Myshkin returns to a long-term hospitalization in Switzerland penniless to St. Petersburg back and take the train to the rich Rogozhin, which is driven by a dark passion for Nastasya, a "fallen" woman. The baseless, unrealistic by his illness and naively believing in the goodness of human prince who is depicted as a kind of Russian Don Quixote, Nastassja also expires, but in another way: He wants to save. Between her and the young Aglaia he is himself part of a network of physical and sexual addictions, injury, obsession and inability to relate, which eventually ends with Rogoshins murder of Nastasya. Myshkin solidifies in the arms of the murderer in a state between delusion and tenderness.

The Idiot is Mieczyslaw? Aw vineyard last opera emerged 1986/1987 and has been listed only in a reduced version. Vineyard Idiot Dostoyevsky compresses homonymous "polyphonic" novel to a sudden series of images on a multiple stage, which also include epic comments. The Polish-Jewish composer Weinberg (1919 - 1996), who lost his family by the Nazis, fled to Russia and was again suspended there the Stalinist persecution later, belonged until recently to the unjustly forgotten composers of the 20th century. He has left an impressive body of work and applies for an impressive renaissance in recent years today alongside Shostakovich and Prokofiev as one of the most important composers of the Soviet Union.
