Opera or Operetta :: Neither a concert performance nor a full opera production, this event theatre is a collage of choral, operatic and orchestral music, spoken text and film, punctuated by rare archival recordings. The main components of the evening include key moments from Beethoven's Fidelio, Wagner's Tristan und Isolde, Alban Berg's Wozzeck and Schubert's Die Schone Mullerin. The juxtaposition of these works and the unfolding of their dramaturigical connections is intended to create a seamless emotional journey for the performers and audience alike. This is a unique event in which Fritz Lang's film Siegfried rubs shoulders with Beethoven and Schumann, and the opera chorus and full orchestra give way to a single baritone and piano.
