Ver- oder entgiftet Humor das Leben, Frau Hoppe?
Gewandhaus Leipzig, Großer Saal (Leipzig)
Does humor detoxify life, Ms. Hoppe? Mahler often said he couldn't withstand the tragedy of human existence without humor's detoxifying effect, Bruno Walter testifies. Felicitas Hoppe's virtuoso wordplay is as profound as Mahler's humorous 4th Symphony and Dvořák's eerie fairy tale, sparking conversations about gallows humor, love, death, and the sometimes-blurred lines between them.
