A Doll's House - an original opera by Raymond Luedeke - is based on Henrik Ibsen's shocking 19th Century drama. This 3-act opera tells the story of Nora, a seemingly typical housewife, who becomes disillusioned and dissatisfied with the rules of marriage and society. The sound of a slamming door, associated with Ibsen's 1879 play, has become an iconic symbol of human liberty.
Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906) is the most performed playwright in the world (after Shakespeare). He is considered to be the father of modern theater and introduced to the stage a new order of moral analysis that was placed against a severely realistic middle-class background. His plays addressing the role of women in society, and of human rights in general, include A Doll's House, Ghosts, Hedda Gabler, and The Lady from the Sea.
