Singer

Music theater with the song cycle by Franz Schubert and Wilhelm Müller / Version for choir, baritone and two accordions by Gregor Meyer / With texts by Lena Reissner
I came as a stranger, and I leave as a stranger. These words not only open what is perhaps the most famous song cycle in music history, they hit the nail on the head when it comes to the Romantic attitude to life. Motifs such as hiking, loneliness, love's exuberance and heartache, inner restlessness, even the German forest: all of this was very well received after its publication in a country that was searching for its own identity.

He knows that she would reject him sharply - so it suits him, the unscrupulous police chief of Rome, just fine that Tosca's lover, the painter Mario Cavaradossi, is suspected of having helped an alleged enemy of the state.
