Details

The Dark Mirror is a startling reflection on art and performance, love, death and the passage of time. In this production, Schubert's song-cycle inhabits a boldly expressionist landscape; the 'Winter's Journey' and its grief-stricken young lover are mirrored in a dynamic confrontation between past and present, maturity and naivety, early Romanticism and the irony of post-Weimar cabaret. Sung in German with English surtitles
