Die Seele am Faden

Date & Time
Wed, May 7, 2025, 20:00
Why do we find a dancer's movements beautiful? How do grace, sensuality, and meaning arise? Friedemann Vogel, principal dancer of the Stuttgart Ballet, explores these questions, inspired by Heinrich von Kleist's essay "On the Marionette Theatre." His solo performance "Die Seele am Faden," created with Thomas Lempertz, juxtaposes conscious movement with an accompanying dancer-avatar, questioning Kleist's idea that true grace exists only in puppets.

Die Bücher der Zeiten

Fri, May 9, 2025, 21:30
Schloss Schwetzingen (Schwetzingen)
Johanna Zimmer Sopran, Einat Aronstein Sopran, Anne-May Krüger Mezzosopran, Michael Kiedaisch Schlagzeug, Mike Svoboda Posaune
As a barely 18-year-old, Friedrich Hölderlin wrote the monumental poem "Die Bücher der Zeiten." Inspired by the biblical Revelation, Hölderlin narrates the "horrors of mankind," redemption through Christ, mankind's achievements, and their just reward. Mike Svoboda entrusts the proclamation of this apocalyptic vision to three female voices, echoing mythological figures like the Norns. The singers weave the text into intricate sounds, highlighting words from the biblical imagery. Svoboda expands the vocal trio to a quartet with trombone, emphasizing the poem's archaic sounds. The percussionist handles dry birch twigs, water, and gravel. At 8:30 pm and following: Meet the Star at the Bar.

Zum 300. Geburtstag von Giacomo Casanova "Auch die schönste Frau ist an den Füßen zu Ende"

Mon, Mar 31, 2025, 09:05
Moderation: Katharina Eickhoff, mit Matthias Habich als Casanova
Don Giovanni's list of seduced women pales compared to Giacomo Casanova, a true lover of women. His exciting life was more than just a libertine's journey. He was a soldier, musician, secretary, entrepreneur, kabbalist, conspirator, diplomat, prisoner, writer, and socialite. His memoirs paint a vivid panorama of 18th-century Europe, featuring encounters with royalty, clergy, philosophers, and charlatans, always with a musical backdrop.

Klassik am Odeonsplatz

Sun, Jul 10, 2022, 20:00
Odeonsplatz (München)
Sir Simon Rattle (Conductor), Veronika Eberle (Violin), Maria Furtwängler (Moderator), Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks
At least since Rhythm Is It! and his staged reading of the St Matthew Passion, Simon Rattle has been considered a multi-media trailblazer in new forms of musical outreach. Now the designated head of the BRSO will give his début at “Klassik am Odeonsplatz” with an exciting evening of film scores. The programme features Korngold, Rósza, Raksin and John Williams, stylistic trendsetters in a genre that has itself long entered the classical repertoire. As early as 1989 Rattle first conducted the soundtrack to Henry V, and in 2006 he performed the score of Tom Tykwer’s Perfume at the helm of the Berlin Philharmonic. Odeonsplatz listeners will be treated to Korngold’s Robin Hood (1938) and Rózsa’s Ben Hur Suite (1959), both of which won Oscars, as well as Rósza’s Violin Concerto (1953), the basis of the film score to Billy Wilder’s The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes. The soloist is the young violinist Veronika Eberle. And it goes without saying that Hollywood’s éminence grise John Williams will also be there – with such classics as Star Wars, Harry Potter and Indiana Jones.

Klassik am Odeonsplatz

Fri, Jul 12, 2024, 20:00
Odeonsplatz (München)
Sir Simon Rattle (Conductor), Anja Kampe (Soprano), Michael Volle (Bariton), Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks
Attracting around 8,000 visitors on site and considerably more via TV and radio, Klassik am Odeonsplatz is one of the highlights of every BRSO season. For this year’s program, Sir Simon Rattle has chosen excerpts from Wagner’s Walküre, of which Brahms probably would have approved. In his opinion, there were “wonderful things” in it, and said about one performance: “In the Second Act, I drink a glass of beer, deliberately lie down for half an hour, and afterwards I feel refreshed again.” Brahms wrote his Second Symphony during a summer holiday on Lake Wörthersee. It’s the perfect piece for a wonderful Munich open-air concert – possibly with a glass of beer to celebrate the new BRSO chief conductor’s first season.
