Assignment

Opera by Hans Werner Henze

Approach

The Prince of Homburg is in love and does not listen properly to the order that only the elector may give an order to attack, so he gave the order himself which was a good idea in the end because the battle was won. But because he broke the law he was sentenced to death.
Typography shows the hilly landscape of the battle field on the one hand and the saber cuts on the other.
