This season's cross-disciplinary theme evening, "Vienna around 1900," showcases one of the world's most exciting cultural capitals. Through music, theatre, ballet, and drama, we experience facets of this city. At the turn of the century, Vienna was the cradle of numerous artistic, sociological, and political movements, where great artists lived, loved, suffered, and worked. The collaboration of music, spoken word, and dance from five departments of the Theater and Philharmonie Essen and Museum Folkwang makes "Vienna around 1900" a festive evening. We experience the city as a sensual utopia, historical inspiration, and lifestyle. On International Music Day, the evening concludes with music by Gustav Mahler, Franz Lehár, and Richard Strauss performed by the Essen Philharmonic under Wolfram-Maria Märtig.
