context_page_description: Sonntag aus Licht is an opera by Karlheinz Stockhausen in five scenes and a farewell, to a libretto written and compiled by the composer. It is the last-composed of seven operas that comprise the cycle Licht. Its stage premiere in 2011 was posthumous, more than three years after the composer's death.
