Discover the music of Strauss and Stenhammar together with the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, conductor Magnus Fryklund, and ciceron Gregor Zubicky! The concert begins with Strauss’s tone poem Don Juan, based on a play about the promiscuous charmer who ultimately pays for his dishonest life. Music based on theater is also Stenhammar’s music for August Strindberg’s A Dream Play, which captures the expressionist and dreamlike atmosphere of the play.

Matthias Pintscher, newly appointed conductor of the Kansas City Symphony Orchestra and an expert on the music of the 20th and 21st centuries, has programmed a birthday greeting and – in keeping with the music festival motto “The End” – two very different farewell works for his guest conducting engagement with the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra.

Richard Strauss could shock when he wanted to, and he did so to the fullest with the one-act Salome . In the opera, the young princess Salome asks for the head of John the Baptist on a silver platter, to music that is both seductive and disgusting. To get her way, she must dance the Dance of the Seven Veils for her stepfather, King Herod.

Following the LA Phil’s acclaimed production of Das Rheingold, Gustavo Dudamel, famed architect Frank Gehry, and director Alberto Arvelo take on the second installment in Wagner’s grand Ring Cycle: Die Walküre. Envisioned as a three-part saga with each act standing on its own, this production boasts a cast of international opera superstars who bring to life a grand tale of love, fate, duty, and self-determination.

It is hard to believe that Carmen, the most performed opera in the world, was a flop at its premiere, precipitating the death of its author at the age of 36. Hadn't Bizet been able to show "real men and real women dazzled, tortured by passion," Théodore de Banville enthused? Tonight, three voices, the cigar maker, her lover Don José and the bullfighter Escamillo, perform Carmen behind closed doors, a new lyrical suite that offers a summary of its key scenes. Another destiny cut short in the prime of life and inspiration is Lili Boulanger, the first woman to win the Prix de Rome, precisely with this cantata, Faust et Hélène .
