Wagner: Götterdämmerung & Strauss: A Hero's Life

About the Event

In his second concert of the season, Daniele Gatti continues his exploration of the German Romantic repertoire with selections from Wagner’s Götterdämmerung and Strauss’s electrifying symphonic poem Ein Heldenleben. This program presents a fascinating contrast between two heroes: Siegfried, the mythical figure of Wagner’s opera, and the composer himself, the modern hero portrayed in Richard Strauss’s autobiographical symphonic poem.
