Robert Schumann: Genoveva
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.
