Montag aus Licht

Montag aus Licht (Monday from Light) is an opera by Karlheinz Stockhausen in a greeting, three acts, and a farewell, and was the third of seven to be composed for the opera cycle Licht: die sieben Tage der Woche (Light: The Seven Days of the Week). The libretto was written by the composer.

Montag is an opera for 21 solo performers (14 voices, 6 instrumentalists, and 1 actor) plus mimes, a mixed choir, children's choir, and "modern orchestra". It was composed between 1984 and 1988. Monday is Eve's day. Its exoteric colour is bright green; its esoteric colours are opal and silver (Stockhausen 1989b, 200).

History

Montag was given its staged premiere by the Teatro alla Scala in Milan on 7 May 1988. Subsequent performances were on 8, 10, 11, 12, and 13 May. The stage direction was by Michael Bogdanov, sets by Chris Dyer, costumes by Mark Thompson. Karlheinz Stockhausen was the sound projectionist.

Roles

Synopsis

Within the Licht cycle, the opera Monday focuses on the character of Eve, on the feminine side of existence, on birth (Stockhausen and Kohl 1985, 33). Monday is the day of the moon, lunae dies in Latin, and the moon has been traditionally associated with the feminine, in contrast to the sun, which was regarded as masculine. In myths and legends, it is a symbol of fertility, and veneration of the "lesser light" of the moon is a cult of the creative and productive power of nature, of the instinctive wisdom and shadowy perceptions that rule the night. The moon is also the demonic form of the feminine principle, the blind force of eclipse, of destruction, of primal fear, as personified in the Greek goddess Hecate, though Stockhausen avoids these aspects for his Eve in favour of positive, creative, and invigorating features (Stoïanova 1999, 194–96). Montag is in three acts, with scenes and subscenes (called "situations" by the composer) as follows:

by: Enchant

I'm not alone
There are millions who are just like me
Is our life our own?
Are we breed to think everything's fine?
Just another ant in the line
I don't want to be
One more calf who's suckling the cash cow
Dressed like a corporate freak
Begging the clock to give me the chance to be me
A few moments just to be free
Swallow the lie just to get by
But I'm sick of this bag of feed
Try to hide but it feels like
You're caught in a landslide
When dreams die
You can chalk it all
Up to the Monday
Blame it all on a Monday
Friday feels all right
You think you got all night
Saturday is great but then it gets too late
And when Sunday comes around
It brings you right back down dreading Monday
And all of what used to define you
Serves only just to remind you
Of the man
You'd hoped to be
I can't believe
I'm on the clock and wearin' a monkey suit
Where is my dream?
You know the one where I'm up on a stage
I guess I'm missin' that page
Take a quick look
Glance through the book
Before I'm put back in my cage
Shed your skin the transformation begins
Chalk outline
And the finger points to a Monday
The only suspect is Monday
Friday feels all right
You think you got all night
Saturday is great but then it gets too late
And when Sunday comes around
It brings you right back down dreading Monday
And all of what used to defined you
Serves only just to remind you
Of the man
You'll never be, oh yeah
I'm not alone
Mindless masses trapped just like me
Busy little drones
Day in day out we're all pawns for the queen
I guess it's how it will be
Chained to my desk
Just like the rest
Who have surrendered their dreams
Shed your skin the transformation begins
Chalk outline
And the finger points to a Monday
Blame it all on a Monday
Friday feels all right
You think you got all night
Saturday is great but then it gets too late
And when Sunday comes around
It brings you right back down dreading Monday
Chalk it all up to a Monday
