Achim Freyer's visually powerful realization of Richard Wagner's stage festival play Parsifal is itself a fascinating synthesis of the arts. The director, stage and costume designer shows us a world of colors and symbols that emerge from the spirit of the music. Wagner's farewell to the world revolves around the central idea of compassion, compassion for other people and for nature. The use of Christian symbols mixed with Buddhist and philosophical ideas is to be understood symbolically. Wagner's last score takes us on a journey into the innermost depths of existence and musically points far into the future. Director, Set-, Costume- and Lightdesign: Achim Freyer Artistic Collaboration: Sebastian Bauer Set Design Collaboration: Moritz Nitsche Costume Design Collaboration: Petra Weikert Light Design Collaboration: Sebastian Alphons Video: Jakob Klaffs/Hugo Reis Dramaturgy: Klaus-Peter Kehr Premiere: 16.9.2017

Daniel Barenboim conducts Mahler

Thu, May 8, 2025, 20:00
Philharmonie Berlin, Main Auditorium (Berlin)
Berliner Philharmoniker (Orchestra), Daniel Barenboim (Conductor), Dorottya Láng (Mezzo-Soprano), Benjamin Bruns (Tenor)
Throughout the 60-year span of his collaboration with the Berliner Philharmoniker, Daniel Barenboim has never conducted the music of Gustav Mahler. Until now. Two late works can be heard, beginning with the expressive Adagio from the unfinished Tenth Symphony. Painful melancholy prevails here, as it does in Das Lied von der Erde (Songs of the Earth), which looks back on the lost beauty of life. Formally located between a song cycle and a symphony, this work was, according to Mahler, “probably the most personal thing I have done so far”.

Mahler Festival: Daniel Barenboim, Berliner Philharmoniker - Symphony No. 10 & Das Lied von der Erde

Sun, May 18, 2025, 20:15
Berliner Philharmoniker, Daniel Barenboim (Conductor), Dorottya Láng (Mezzo-Soprano), Benjamin Bruns (Tenor)
One of the world's most legendary orchestras, the Berliner Philharmoniker, will be led by Daniel Barenboim on the final night of the Mahler Festival. 'The Tenth is and remains music of the future,' the legendary pianist and conductor says of Mahler's swan song. He also conducts the impressive non-symphony Das Lied von der Erde. Vocal soloists in Das Lied are Dorottya Láng and Benjamin Bruns.The world is turning - roughly the tenor of Mahler's Das Lied von der Erde. In texts inspired by Chinese poems, life is seen as a continuous stage of transition. In both this work and the Tenth Symphony, the idea of mortality played a major role. Mahler knew he was incurably ill, and had also lost his infant daughter. He had lost everything and had to 'learn to walk like a newborn again', he wrote to a friend. That did not come to pass. Of the Tenth Symphony, he completed only the stirring Adagio, performed tonight by the Berliner Philharmoniker.

Robert Schumann: Genoveva

Wed, Jun 11, 2025, 20:00
Chen Reiss (Soprano), Johannes Weisser (Bariton), Benjamin Bruns (Tenor), Thomas Faulkner (Bass), Valentina Stadler (Mezzo-Soprano), Leon Košavić (Bariton), Audi Jugendchorakademie, Le Cercle de l’Harmonie (Ensemble), Jérémie Rhorer (Conductor)
Robert Schumann's only opera is among the most unconventional and important music dramas of the Romantic period. The original sound ensemble Le Cercle de l'Harmonie and its founder Jérémie Rhorer now reveal the astonishing modernity of this masterpiece. The knowledgeable conductor and his special ensemble, Genoveva, tell the story of Siegfried, Count Palatine's wife who is falsely accused of infidelity by his vassal. Schumann's opera, which has a happy ending, thrives on an unheard-of inner tension.
