A concert programme in which British-Singaporean mezzo-soprano Fleur Barron and pianist Julius Drake explore the personal connections and feelings of home, homeland and belonging. The program combines poetry and music from Eastern and Western creators around the themes of home, childhood and dreams and asks us all the question: Is the term "home" for you an inner state, a physical place, a geopolitical space?
The members of the International Opera Studio present a programme of songs in the foyer of the opera house, accompanied by Vlad Iftinca. Programme will be published later.
It is a fairy tale with a happy ending - the "wondrous love story of the beautiful Magelone and Count Peter of Provence" by Ludwig Tieck from 1779. In his opus 33, Johannes Brahms set fifteen songs to music that are already included in Tieck's text. With its interplay of text and song, "Die schöne Magelone" is a unique piece - and a romantic love story that only seems a little out of date at first glance. After all, a little happiness in love and a happy ending are very much needed in this day and age.
Esther Dierkes and Björn Bürger present a program of songs in the foyer of the opera house, accompanied by Götz Payer on the piano. Programme will be published later.
