Michael Nymans einaktige Kammeroper Der Mann, der seine Frau mit einem Hut verwechselte, thematisiert Dr. P., einen Mann, der an Sehschwäche oder "geistiger Blindheit" leidet, und ist eine Adaption der neurologischen Studie aus dem gleichnamigen Buch von Oliver Sacks. Für Nyman benötigt Dr. P "Musik als Rettungsanker, Signal, Anhaltspunkt, Therapie" und lebt wie er in einer Welt ohne visuelle Bedeutung. Durch seine musikalische Begabung gewinnt Dr. P. Bedeutung aus dem Chaos zurück. Nymans straff konzipiertes Meisterwerk bietet ein perfektes Medium, durch das das bewegende Drama erforscht werden kann.
Michael Nyman’s one-act chamber opera The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat takes as its subject Dr P, a man suffering from visual agnosia, or ‘mental blindness’, and is adapted from the neurological study in the book of the same name by Oliver Sacks. For Nyman, Dr P ‘requires music as a lifeline, cue, clue, cure’, living as he does in a world lacking visual meaning. It is through his musical gifts that Dr P reclaims meaning from chaos, Nyman’s tautly conceived masterpiece providing a perfect medium through which the moving drama can be explored.
