Concert/Presentation - Austrian Focus at Operadagen Rotterdam
Evenementdetails
Over dit evenement
Music theatre reflects contemporary aspects in a variety of ways - whether on the level of artistic representation with its diverse media and/or the confrontation with current topics such as social and political developments. These current approaches apply in different ways to all eight works, which were selected on the basis of a call for entries for an Austrian focus at the Operadagen Rotterdam 2019 in cooperation with Austrian Music Export and the Musiktheatertage Wien. Among the selected works is also "Gestochen und Weg" by Elisabeth Schimana, in which a girl embarks on a journey into a virtual world of sound and images far removed from everyday temptations and admonitions.
Two musicians of Airborne extended, who performed this work for the first time as an ensemble, will perform solo and duo pieces on this evening. In addition, together with Elisabeth Schimana, they will talk about insights into the topicality of contemporary music theatre.
