ANAM is beyond excited to be joining our friends at the Sydney Symphony Orchestra in the Sydney debut of the remarkable and monumental orchestral song cycle 'Gurrelieder' by Arnold Schoenberg.
Sydney Symphony Orchestra chief conductor, Simone Young, takes us through this remarkable piece and explains why it's such a huge moment.
There are two performances only - Friday 15 March 7 pm and Saturday 16 March 7 pm at the Concert Hall at the Sydney Opera House. For further details, head to anam.com.au/whats-on/events/s...
Making its Sydney debut in celebration of the 150th anniversary of the composer’s birth, Schoenberg’s Gurrelieder is a rapturous musical epic for soloists, chorus, and orchestra, telling a beautifully crafted tale adapted from Danish legend. This is music on the grandest imaginable scale, for which the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall stage will almost double in size, allowing the Sydney Symphony to be joined by ANAM musicians and a massed choir.
Schoenberg’s hyper-romantic work rivals any fantasy epic, with its themes of passion, jealousy, and the quest for love that transcends life. As its story unfolds, Gurrelieder’s captivating, hypnotic melodies and vast choral music emerge in waves, building to a musical sunrise of dazzling splendor.
The Orchestra’s Chief Conductor Simone Young directs an all-star cast, including tenor Simon O’Neill and German soprano Ricarda Merbeth.
These Gurrelieder performances mark ANAM’s first collaboration with the Sydney Symphony.
