Approved

An opera composed by Korngold, a music director who led the golden age of American Hollywood. Korngold’s orchestrations dominated Hollywood music at the time, and he won two Oscars for his scores for films such as ‘The Adventures of Robin Hood’ and ‘The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex’. Die tote Stadt was composed when Korngold was 23 years old, and it has been beloved since its premiere as it deals with death and grief after the First World War. Leading the intense music of Die tote Stadt will be conductor Lothar Koenigs, former General musik director of the Osnabrück Theater, who is known for his uncompromising approach. The production will be directed by Julien Chavaz, director of the Theater Magdeburg, whose work has been described as ‘as much for the eyes as for the ears’, and will present an extraordinary opera.
