The established song recital series "Unheard - Encounters with Women Composers" returns to the princely splendor of the Red Hall at Detmold Castle. In this installment, Stephen Chambers (tenor) and Chris Harding (piano) present a 20th-century program featuring exclusively works from the home countries of both artists and showcasing rarely heard pieces by female composers from Great Britain and the USA. From lush harmonies and Romanticism celebrating spring and love, to unsettling tales set against the beautiful backdrop of Scotland, to the dramatic unraveling and despair of "Dr. Faustus" in his final, damned hour, the evening presents a diverse potpourri from the oeuvres of composers Judith Wier, Muriel Herbert, Elizabeth Maconchy, and Amy Beach

Outrageous! A recital with Stephen Chambers and Chris Harding

Fürstliches Residenzschloss Roter Saal

Prince Tamino no longer wants to be a prince. However, when he falls in love with the portrait of Pamina, the daughter of the Queen of the Night, he is ready for any heroic deed. First, he is to free Pamina from Sarastro's clutches for the Queen, and then, once in Sarastro's realm, he must face life-threatening trials for him. At his side are the free-spirited Papageno and a magic flute. In the end, Tamino and Pamina are reunited, and Papageno is no longer alone – a happy ending? "The Magic Flute" is a beautiful parable about growing up, told in dreamlike images by director Dirk Schmeding for young and old alike.

In her exotic, enchanted realm, Alcina is the sole ruler: she can seduce anything and anyone. Men she tires of, she transforms into mute objects. But for Ruggiero, she feels love for the first time – and also the fear of losing her beloved. When his fiancée, Bradamante, ventures into the enchanted realm to free Ruggiero, Alcina risks losing everything.
