Das Gespenst von Canterville

In the organizer's words:

Opera

Family concert with Juri Tetzlaff | An orchestral narrative by Henrik Albrecht based on Oscar Wilde
Text arrangement by Andreas Durban

Canterville Castle is haunted. A ghost called Sir Simon is said to be up to mischief here. And indeed - hasn't a chain just rattled? But the Otis family, who have just moved in, are far from impressed in the slightest. When they finally meet Sir Simon for real, they kindly ask him to oil his chains so that they don't always rattle so loudly. Only daughter Virginia takes genuine pity on the old poltergeist and finally frees him from his curse. Oscar Wilde's story from 1887 has long since become a true classic. Composer Henrik Albrecht combines it with music whose richness of color exploits the sound spectrum of the entire orchestra and takes us directly into the old walls of Canterville Castle. Narrator Juri Tetzlaff accompanies us on this exciting and entertaining journey. This content has been machine translated.
