300 .. $a Translated from the German
330 .. $a "Combining fact and fiction, each of the one hundred and two tales of Alexander Kluge's
Temple of the Scapegoat (dotted with photos of famous operas and their stars) compresses
a lifetime of feeling and thought: Kluge is deeply engaged with the opera and an inventive
wellspring of narrative notions. The titles of his stories suggest his many turns
of mind: "Total Commitment," "Freedom," "Reality Outrivals Theater," "The Correct
Slowing-Down at the Transitional Point Between Terror and an Inkling of Freedom,"
"A Crucial Character (Among Persons None of Whom Are Who They Think They Are)," and
"Deadly Vocal Power vs. Generosity in Opera." An opera, Kluge says, is a blast furnace
of the soul, telling of the great singer Leonard Warren who died onstage, having literally
sung his heart out. Kluge introduces a Tibetan scholar who realizes that opera "is
about comprehension and passion. The two never go together. Passion overwhelms comprehension.
Comprehension kills passion. This appears to be the essence of all operas, says Huang
Tse-we: she also comes to understand that female roles face the harshest fates. Compared
to the mass of soprano victims (out of 86,000 operas, 64,000 end with the death of
the soprano), the sacrice of tenors is small (out of 86,000 operas 1,143 tenors are
a write-off)." "
