LOCATION:Deutsche Oper Berlin\, Berlin
SUMMARY:Gurrelieder
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:It began as a song cycle for two voices and piano accompaniment
  and became a choral symphonic mammoth work: Arnold Schoenberg's ‘Gurrel
 ieder’ tell the story of the love between Tove and King Waldemar\, based
  on poems by the Danish writer Jens Peter Jacobsen. In the ‘Gurrelieder
 ’\, Schönberg\, in the tradition of Richard Wagner\, Gustav Mahler and 
 Richard Strauss\, combines all the musical influences of late Romanticism 
 into an almost two-hour monumental work that is a high point of that artis
 tic epoch – and at the same time a turning point: In fact\, Schönberg h
 ad already taken the step towards atonality during the years of the comple
 tion and world premiere of ‘Gurrelieder’. \n\nThe performance of ‘Gu
 rrelieder’ also marks the end of an era at Deutsche Oper Berlin\, as it 
 is part of the farewell of General Music Director Sir Donald Runnicles\, w
 ho will step down from the role at the end of the 2025/26 season after alm
 ost twenty years in the post.
