Schubert's Winterreise

Schubert's Winterreise

Retold

Friday 17 February 2012, 7.30pm

Gazelleship presents a unique retelling of Franz Schubert's epic song cycle Winterreise, in which a young man bids his beloved goodnight before embarking on a journey through a harsh winter landscape that brings him face to face with his own mortality.

In this production of Winterreise, you can expect both a compelling performance of the complete song cycle, and a twist: There is an untold side of the story, that of the girl Schubert’s heart-broken protagonist cannot forget. This alternative angle will be viewed through through the lieder of Webern, Berg, and Schoenberg.
