The Main Hall seating planA short introduction to the forthcoming performance. The introduction takes place on the staircase towards the left hand stalls. The introduction is held in Swedish and is included in the ticket price.
Richard Wagner and Richard Strauss: two giants who comprise the absolute zenith of German Romanticism. In addition, Strauss was a great admirer of Wagner. The opera Tristan and Isolde in particular made an indelible impression on him, which is easy to understand. The music in the famous prelude, which is often performed together with the final scene, Isolde’s Liebestod, floats weightlessly forward without ever needing to touch the ground. The chord that creates the effect was a harmonic innovation that revolutionized music, and is also known as the Tristan chord.
The Master-Singers of Nuremberg, Wagner’s only comic opera is different from Tristan and Isolde, and it is the story of ordinary people rather than gods, heroes and giants. The prelude bulges with majestic force and also contains a wink to the seventeenth century in which the opera’s action plays out.
Richard Strauss is the obvious prominent figure of the symphonic poem. In Tod und Verklärung he portrays a lonely man who struggles with death and recalls experiences from the life he has lived. The slow introduction depicts a sickbed; the second movement’s stormy allegro describes the artist’s feverish struggle with death. Life flashes by in the third movement, before the enhanced clarity of the final movement brings ultimate redemption.
In parallel with a successful career as an alto vocalist, French Nathalie Stutzmann has recently garnered increasing attention as a conductor. She has led the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra on several occasions and is represented with concert videos on the web channel KonserthusetPlay.
