Yvonne, Prinzessin von Burgund (Yvonne, Princess of Burgundy) is an opera in four acts composed by Boris Blacher to a German-language libretto by the composer based on Witold Gombrowicz's 1938 Polish play Iwona, księżniczka Burgunda. The opera premiered on 15 September 1973 at the Opernhaus Wuppertal.[1][2]
The story is set in the royal court of an imaginary country and combines elements of tragic farce, fantasy, and moral criticism. The title role is portrayed by a mute dancer.[3]
