FUN, THOROUGH, AND WITH LIVE PIANO ACCOMPANIMENT

Inside the Music is a series of musical lectures where you will learn all about the operas on our programme. For Der Rosenkavalier, we invite professor of musicology and author Pieter Bergé. Through an accessible analysis and live music excerpts, this specialist of twentieth-century music will reveal to you all the secrets of one of the most refined scores in the repertoire. One whose waltzes and neoclassical style were for some a betrayal of the radicalism of Strauss's previous operas, and for others simply the right music to the right libretto. Let Pieter Bergé guide you through Strauss' score and answer your questions at a convivial reception afterwards.
