‘I am being given birth into death,’ remarks Samuel Beckett’s character Malone in a monologue that dissolves time and space, leaving only the nothingness of the end. The endgame of human existence is where we find the protagonists of this summer’s Salzburg Festival: siblings languishing in the Russian provinces in Peter Eötvös’s Three Sisters, a woman lost in the forest in Schoenberg’s Erwartung and a mournful, lonely wanderer in Mahler’s ‘Der Abschied’. The doctor in Vladimir Sorokin’s deadly blizzard is likewise caught up in extreme circumstances, as is the despondent prophetess Cassandra in Michael Jarrell’s adaptation of Christa Wolf’s novella.
