Famous French composer Olivier Messiaen described birds as »the greatest artists among all creatures«, and included birdsong in some of his works. That connects him with St Francis of Assisi, who, legend has it, preached to the birds and praised the Lord’s Creation. It was only logical, then, that Messiaen should dedicate to the founder of the Franciscan order his biggest and most all-embracing composition: the opera »Saint François d’Assise«. Kent Nagano and the Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra perform it tonight at the Elbphilharmonie.

At »Before the premiere«, the audience experiences the first part of a so-called stage orchestra rehearsal (approx. 90 minutes), in which the orchestra, singers and scenic set come together on stage. Prior to this, at 18:15, there will be a short introductory event with Kent Nagano, Georges Delnon and dramaturge Ralf Waldschmidt in the foyer of the Grand Hall (main bar on the 13th floor). After the rehearsal, there will be time for questions from the audience.
