Schubert, Fierrabras: La Monnaie

About the Event

Join Ádám Fischer as he guides the audience through the atmospheric German Romanticism of Schubert in this concert performance of Fierrabras, one of the composer's grand Romantic operas.

The libretto for this work from 1823 was inspired by the legends of Charlemagne and his knights, full of amorous intrigues involving the Moorish camp (Fierrabras) and the Frankish camp (Roland and Eginhard).
