Event Details

Performing with Julius Drake, piano

Programme
Schubert: Dichterliebe
Schubert: Schwanengesang

A powerful recital of Romantic song based around verse on love, desire and loss by German poet Heinrich Heine.

Canadian baritone Gerald Finley is a singer of rare distinction and commanding character, at the top of his game in opera houses and concert halls across the world.

Joined by his regular recital partner Julius Drake, Finley performs works by two of the masters of Romantic song, in a powerful recital based around the vivid, highly emotional verse on themes of love, desire and loss by the great German poet Heinrich Heine.

Schumann’s Dichterliebe (or A Poet’s Love) traces a tragic journey from elation to despair; from spring optimism, as the singer hopes his new-found beloved will return his love, to the bitter disappointment of indifference and rejection. It contains some of Schumann’s most poignant songs, set to music of immense subtlety and power.

Schwanengesang, Schubert’s final song cycle, seems to pick up where Dichterliebe left off, as the poet addresses his distant beloved in forlorn hope and increasing grief. Placed together, these two cycles offer an immensely powerful experience. Discover new depths of emotion as Finley brings his considerable talents to these heartbreaking works.

Supported by
Donald and Louise MacDonald

Le nozze di Figaro is rightly regarded as a prime example of a musical comedy. Together with his librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte, the 30-year-old Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart succeeded in creating an opera that set new standards – with its vitality, its plot reversals at lightning speed, its multiple trials and tribulations and a score that conveys both profound sensitivity and an animated spirit.

With Mozart’s three Da Ponte operas, director Vincent Huguet and conductor Daniel Barenboim embark on a journey through time as the characters evolve and transform. The loves and sufferings of young people, in the form of both real and feigned emotions, come to the stage – whereby in the case of »Figaro«, which forms the second part of this trilogy, these living environments are set in the ’80s with their special style and charm. Pace and situational comedy come to the fore just as much as pensiveness and melancholy. The immense art of differentiation, as so vividly revealed in Mozart’s marvelous work, will also be reflected in the musical and scenic presentation. With »Così fan tutte« and »Don Giovanni«, the other two Da Ponte operas will be staged in the 2021/22 season, as parts one and three of this trilogy conceived especially for the Staatsoper.
