It opens in the foyer with a "greeting" for an ensemble of brass and percussion, followed in the theater by three acts, and ends outside the theater with a "farewell", played from the surrounding rooftops by five trumpeters. The 16-channel tape composition Unsichtbare Chöre (Invisible Choirs, 1979) is incorporated into act 1, and again into act 3, scene 1. Stockhausen's Klavierstück XII is an arrangement of act 1, scene 3, and a number of other segments were arranged by the composer for separate performance. Thursday's exoteric colour is bright blue.
