The Anvil

In Romanticism, man entered music - and the great emotions: The overwhelming love, the horror of death - and the breathtaking nature. You can experience all that in music by Beethoven, Weber and Mendelssohn.

Weber encapsulates the drama of an entire opera in a single overture: Experience the dark woods of romance, death drive and untamed love in just ten minutes.

The big feelings

Musikhuset Aarhus

Wagner Noël Performing Arts Center

What happens when you give Herbert Fritsch, a brilliant actor and director with a penchant for the wacky, a symphony concert to play? It's impossible to say for sure, but what we can say is that Fritsch is venturing into the concert field! Until recently, his turbulent and absurd Don Giovanni raged through the Behrenstraße as a libertine on the verge of a nervous breakdown, and if Wagner was to be at the Komische, then it was Fritsch. This season he's chasing the Florentine hat alongside Herbert Grönemeyer.

Together with General Music Director James Gaffigan, Fritsch presents György Ligeti's groundbreaking Poème symphonique for 100 metronomes and takes us into his very personal musical world, from Carl Maria von Weber to Iannis Xenakis, with all its rough edges. Don't worry, he won't sing. Well, probably not. We're excited!
