Its massive scale requires an extraordinary ensemble of five soloists, multiple choirs, a narrator, and a gargantuan orchestra, making it a rare and cherished piece in the classical music repertoire. Zubin Mehta, LA Phil Conductor Emeritus, brings his unparalleled expertise to this work, having conducted its LA Phil premiere and recorded it multiple times. This performance marks a poignant return to one of Mehta's signature pieces, offering audiences a unique opportunity to witness his masterful interpretation of the operatic emotion and architectural grandeur of "Gurrelieder."

The Los Angeles Philharmonic, along with a stellar lineup of soloists including Christine Goerke (soprano Tove), Brandon Jovanovich (tenor Waldemar), Violeta Urmana (mezzo Waldtaube), Gerhard Siegel (tenor Klaus-Narr), and Dietrich Henschel (speaker), will bring this masterpiece to life.
