Amore!

This summer, the choir soloists of the Komische Oper Berlin will once again open their songbooks in the foyer of the Schillertheater – but this time it will be a very special one: Hugo Wolf's Italian Songbook. Composed at the end of the 19th century, Wolf set 46 popular Italian poems to music in a translation by Paul Heyse. They show love in all its facets: from the first butterflies in the stomach to the painful heartbreak of lost love. Wolf's composition captures these feelings musically and vividly, stimulating the imagination. The evening will be performed by the choir soloists of the Komische Oper Berlin and choir director David Cavelius at the piano, promising big emotions in a small format. Already in love?
