Simone Young conducts Gurrelieder
When:
Every day until Sat 16 Mar 2024
Details:
This March, Simone Young will lead the Sydney debut performance of Schoenberg’s musical fantasy epic, Gurrelieder, in celebration of the composers’ 150th birthday.
Arnold Schoenberg’s Gurrelieder is a musical tapestry of monumental scale, requiring an orchestra of 125 musicians and a chorus of more than 200. With musical forces of this size, a live performance is likely to be a once in a lifetime experience.
On a Sydney Opera House Concert Hall stage that will almost double in size, the Sydney Symphony will be joined by musicians from the Australian National Academy of Music, an all-star cast including celebrated tenor Simon O’Neill and the extraordinary German soprano Ricarda Merbeth making her long-awaited return to Sydney.
