A religious mystery opera. A magnificent doomsday vision. A full length nightmare. This SACD production of Rued Langgaard´s allegorical opera Antikrist witnesses the spectacular Danish co-production by the Royal Danish Opera and the Danish Broadcasting Corporation from 2002. No pains are spared as the composer's revelation unfolds with its intriguing allegorical characters and its powerful statement about the moral decay of modernity.
