The long night’s programme on the main stage opens with Arnold Schönberg’s string sextet “Verklärte Nacht”. Two strollers on a nocturnal walk are the protagonists of Richard Dehmel’s poem of the same name. Schönberg reflects the dramatic and agitated mood of their conversation in the highly expressive, sensually charged sounds of the work.
Performed by musicians of the Zurich Opera Orchestra: Dmitry Serebrennikov, Maya Kadosh (violin); Alexandr Tatarinov, Maria Clément (viola); Lev Sivkov, Laura Moinian (cello).
