Rigoletto wants to protect his daughter Gilda from the abusive Duke at all costs – but his revenge turns into the cruelest of all defeats: It's not the Duke, but Gilda who falls victim. Is this the fulfillment of the gruesome curse imposed on Rigoletto at the beginning? Verdi combines the dark force of a revenge thriller with the tragedy of an unconditional, yet one-sided love – and at the same time creates an explosive political drama, which Jossi Wieler and Sergio Morabito bring to the fore in their production.

Having presented you with the audience favorites written by Richard Strauss at our 4th Philharmonic Concert, we now turn our attention to his love of woodwind instruments. The focus here is not on musical opulence - as is usually the case with him - but on a subtle exploration of artistic means of expression. With his wonderful Romance for Clarinet and Orchestra, Richard Strauss achieved a great success even in his early years.
