Gurrelieder performance this weekend

All you Schoenberg fans will be interested to know that our performance of *Gurrelieder * is on tomorrow (Saturday) night in Melbourne. The three choirs (two from Melbourne and one from Sydney) and orchestra (the Melbourne Symphony) have come together and have been rehearsing all week, with the final run-through tonight. It’s been a wonderful, but very exhausting, experience! I’m really looking forward to the performance, which has been sold out for weeks.

If any Australian dopers want to listen in, the performance is being broadcast live on ABC Classic FM tomorrow at 8.00pm.

The performance of *Gurrelieder * has come and gone. I’d have to say that it was one of the most exciting and stimulating pieces I’ve ever sung. I’m very glad I chose to do it.

Here’s a review from last Monday’s Melbourne Age.
