STAATSKAPELLE BERLIN & FINNEGAN DOWNIE DEAR

What Is the Word: Works by Bartók, Kurtág, and Schubert

From January 2025, the Staatsoper Unter den Linden will present György Kurtág’s only opera Fin de partie, based on Samuel Beckett’s Endgame. During the run of performances, the Staatskapelle and a group of vocal soloists bring Kurtág’s 1990 Beckett homage What Is the Word to the Pierre Boulez Saal, continuing the annual tradition of the orchestra’s guest concerts. Kurtág’s fascinating score is framed by works of Béla Bartók and Franz Schubert. Young British conductor Finnegan Downie Dear, who led the Staatskapelle’s previous Pierre Boulez Saal appearance, returns to the podium.Presented by the Staatsoper Unter den Linden in cooperation with the Pierre Boulez Saal.Tickets are available exclusively from the Staatsoper Unter den Linden: staatsoper-berlin.de
