Opera SND I E.W. Korngold: Die tote Stadt / Mŕtve mesto

Korngold's opera Mrtve mesto, a work full of intense emotions, luscious melody, lyrical beauty and dramatic tension, tells the story of a person's struggle with the pain of loss and the search for a way back to life. In concert form, her beautiful late-romantic music, which belongs to the highlights of the operatic literature of the first half of the 20th century, will be fully revealed.

The captivating story of Paul's obsession with his deceased wife and his journey between dream and reality is presented through magnificent, emotional and melodic music, which won the favor of the world audience with its orchestral bravura, dramatic charge and lyrical beauty.

The dead city sounds like the last great romantic dream. A dream in which the worlds of Richard Wagner, Richard Strauss and Giacomo Puccini intertwine, but also a harbinger of film music - it is no coincidence that Korngold later became one of the pioneers of the sound of the golden era of Hollywood.

The concert is suitable for spectators aged 15 and over.
