Die Schone Mullerin 1

Die Schone Mullerin 2

Die Schone Mullerin, Franz Schubert's novel in songs, tells the story of a young man's budding love for a beautiful maid, the miller's daughter. The courtship is depicted through an innovative production of singing and dancing (The Olney ballet), and through immersive streamed images and live illustrations surrounding the actors. The original piano accompaniment is replaced by an orchestrated arrangement by a chamber enemble to enhance the immersive experience. Our staged performance will be sung in German with projected English supertitles.

Join us as we meet a young man, full of strength and hope, and follow him on his travels towards his happiness. Spring nature, a briskly babbling brook, his companion, leads the young man to the mill, where he falls in love with the miller's daughter. Confidence, happiness and love are soon replaced by anxiety, torments of jealousy, and the bitterness of betrayal. In the gentle murmuring, lulling streams of the stream, the hero finds peace and solace.
Franz Schubert, a genius who lived a short life of 31 years, was able to write more than 600 songs, all of which we know and cherish to this day.

Baritone, Robert McGinness performs the cycle of twenty songs.

Mozart and Salieri

Mozart's Ghost

"Genius and Crime - two things that do not combine" Mozart says to Salieri on the last evening of his life. "Could it be true, and I am not a genius?", questions Salieri then. We ask ourselves these questions now as well and find the answers with the singers on stage with the help of the Ghost of Mozart in the second part of the program.
