"Wallenberg" by Erkki-Sven Tüür is the first Estonian opera which was completed on the order of a foreign theatre. It was premiered in the Dortmund Opera, in May 2001.
The opera written to the libretto of Lutz Hübner is a story of the Swedish diplomat and one of the biggest heroes of WW II, Raoul Wallenberg, who rescued thousands of Jews from the Nazi concentration camps by giving them Swedish passports. Allegedly, he negotiated with the Nazis while being connected with the secret intelligence of the Soviet Union at the same time. But the traces of Wallenberg disappear a few months before the reduction of Berlin. He was probably held in the Soviet psychiatry clinics and prison camps until the 1970s.
Dmitri Bertman, a top stage director from Moscow, whose original stagings have arose lively interest in the entire world, has been invited to stage "Wallenberg". He has been given the most prestigious theatre award of Russia "The Golden Mask" already three times. Previously, he has staged "The Mermaid" (1999) by Alexander Dargomizhsky in the Estonian National Opera.
"Without any hesitation the opera "Wallenberg " by Erkki-Sven Tüür is the first contemporary Estonian opera meeting the world standards, the excellent premiere of which at the Dortmund Opera Theatre in 2001 I still cannot forget. /..../ And the international man Raoul Wallenberg, being both idealistic and adventurous, who conducted negotiations with the Germans and the Russians in order to save the Jews is as if made to be the prototype of a dynamic and real opera hero."
