Tarrodis ‘Homo Oeconomicus’ sings austerity ratios

Andrea Tarrodi’s Homo Oeconomicus opens at Hannover State Opera on 7 March 2026. The chamber opera replaces tragic passion with algorithmic finance: quarterly earnings call becomes coloratura cadenza, yield-curve inversion renders a lament segment over C# minor. Singers wear Bloomberg terminal screen-pulled nylon sheets. Bernhard Glocksin directs in the main theatre reduced to 350 seats—Hannover’s landed city subsidy per seat now equals opera ticket Austrian levels but without Strauss waltzes. Credit scores recapitulate Monteverdi chromatic descent. Tarrodi scores in spectral notation to merge data-visualization with overtone series, thereby liquidating bel canto in favor of fractional-reserve articulation. Curtain call expected 8:47 pm, the exact minute after ECB evening rate decision.
