Berwaldhallen

Barbara Hannigan gör en efterlängtad återkomst till Berwaldhallen och ger sin signaturintensitet till I’m not a Tale to be Told av den iranska kompositören Golfam Khayam – framförd tillsammans med Sveriges Radios Symfoniorkester. Den dramatiska elegansen i Joseph Haydns Symfoni nr 44 följer. Som avslutning dyker orkestern ner i de vibrerande rytmer och själfulla melodier som utgör George Gershwins Porgy and Bess – Symfonisk bild, en symfonisk destillation av hans banbrytande opera från 1935.

Regissören och koreografen Benke Rydman är tillbaka med en helt ny föreställning där publiken placeras på scenen, mitt bland artisterna. Där får de uppleva livets berg- och dalbana på nära håll genom dans, livemusik och scenkonst. En nyskapande upplevelse där gränser suddas ut och gemenskap väcker hopp. &quot;Lonely Together&quot; är baserad på den legendariska musiken av Avicii.
