Divara – Wasser und Blut (Divara, Water and Blood) is a German-language opera by Azio Corghi to a libretto by the composer after the play In Nomine Dei by José Saramago,[1][2] which tells the story of the Dutch "Anabaptist queen" Divara van Haarlem and the Münster Rebellion of 1534.
The opera was premiered at Theater Münster 31 October 1993.
[3][4] The opera had originally been conceived for performance in Italian, as Divara – acqua e sangue, as the composer's previous collaboration with Saramago, Blimunda, based on the 1994 novel Baltasar and Blimunda (original title Memorial do convento).
