Artistic Director Thomas Bieber invites you to the “Klangraum im Herbst” once more. The motto of the program is “fairy tales – myths – fables”. For the first evening on October 16, 6 p.m., Bieber has commissioned an exclusive custom-made production in the Crystal Hall of the Rothschild Castle: Christoph Willibald Gluck’s opera “Orpheus and Eurydice” will be heard for the first time in a version for harmony music for nine wind instruments. The saga is retold by actor Wolfram Berger. As a musician, Bieber has engaged the ensemble Serenata Austria.
