Programme

Franz Schubert
String Quartet No. 14 in D minor, ‘Death and the Maiden’ (arranged for string orchestra)

Sven Helbig
Prologue and interludes to Schubert's ‘Death and the Maiden’

Finitude and infinity, this world and transcendence: in Schubert's stirring music for ‘Death and the Maiden’, these worlds touch each other. It is precisely this in-between space that can be experienced in ‘Holo Harmonies’, an immersive Gesamtkunstwerk. The holograms of the dancers from the Czech National Ballet appear as lifelike as flesh and blood – yet they consist only of light. Mauro Bigonzetti's flowing choreography, Sven Helbig's resounding infinity, fascinating animations and a brilliant performance by the SKO combine to create a congenial stage spectacle.
