Teodor Currentzis is a charismatic, eccentric, and downright notorious for his interpretations, which reveal entirely new facets of music in terms of tempo and dynamics. Now the audience favorite returns to the Elbphilharmonie with his top-class international orchestra. They bring with them the "Ring Without Words," a kind of best-of of the most beautiful passages from Wagner's opera tetralogy "The Ring of the Nibelung" – entirely without singing.

Beethoven Hall (Beethovensaal)

Alban Berg dedicated his violin concerto to "the memory of an angel", namely Alma Mahler's daughter Manon. Together with Teodor Currentzis and the Utopia Orchestra, the exceptional violinist Vilde Frang will bring this angelic song to life. Mahler's Symphony No. 1 is entirely earthly: from sounds of nature to parodic funeral marches to the "titanic" triumph of the nameless hero.

Casino Bern

Once again, Teodor Currentzis and his Utopia Orchestra stop at Santa Cecilia for an unmissable concert. It begins with a masterpiece of heartbreaking beauty, Berg  's Violin Concerto , written for the young Manon Gropius, daughter of Alma Mahler, who died at just 18, and therefore dedicated "to the memory of an angel." The second part features Mahler  's Symphony No. 1, "The Titan ," a tale of a hero's coming of age, amidst nature's awakenings, grotesque funeral marches, and a finale that is a cry of triumph.
