5. Jacquot, Mahler & Strauss
Jacquot launches the season with her favourite composer, Richard Strauss, and his symphonic poem Tod und Verklärung. In this work, Strauss portrays an artist’s last hour—from the first laboured breaths of death through luminous memories and agonising pain, culminating in a radiant moment of transcendence, accompanied by sublime celestial music. In the final musical image, all earthly turmoil fades away, and the artist gently drifts into eternal rest.
