Verlieben, lieben und loslassen
A musical and literary journey from 1681 to 1828M. Schade, A. Ferreira, C. Hammer, S. Falck
Are you currently in love and seeing the world through rose-colored glasses? If so, you may not want to continue reading. This matinee program promises to be an emotional roller coaster. It celebrates the elation of first love, but also dares to look beyond the momentary euphoria, looking ahead to tomorrow and the day after, when the initial rush of infatuation has faded and it is time to say goodbye. A four-piece ensemble that laughs and sighs, cheers and laments together, looking equally to the past and the future, invites the audience to follow this adventure.
Michael Schade brings together artistic companions around him. Together they roam through musical and literary masterpieces from different eras and countries.
