Classic in the Crypt: The Death, the Muse — Mahler, Mussorgsky, Brahms

About the Event

Cornelia Sonnleithner and Clara Sophia Murnig devote themselves profoundly to the eternal theme of transience and love, which lives on in many different facets despite all the blows of fate. Experience a musical tension between farewell and new beginnings, pain and comfort, past and future.
Established as Austria's smallest theater, the song recitals and opera performances captivate audiences with their high quality. Located deep beneath Vienna's St. Peter's Church, this extraordinary concert hall offers a personal experience unlike any other venue.

The KRYPTA is pleasantly temperate in every season.
