South Pole

South Pole is an opera by the Czech composer Miroslav Srnka and libretto written by the Australian Tom Holloway. The plot centers on the sinister race between the Norwegian team led by Roald Amundsen and the British expedition of Robert Falcon Scott to be the first humans to reach Antarctica in 1910. The opera explores the emotions and thoughts of men in this world of ice and loneliness, and delves into the dichotomy between conflict and comic situations.

South Pole will premiere on January 31st 2016 at the Bayerische Staatsoper (Munich). The cast will be headed by baritone Thomas Hampson and tenor Rolando Villazón.
