A Winter's Journey at the Concert Hall, QPAC Tickets
About A Winter's Journey
British tenor Allan Clayton and Australian pianist Kate Golla set out once again on A Winter’s Journey in the internationally-acclaimed production that reimagines Schubert’s Winterreise.
Franz Schubert’s last song cycle sets the poems of Wilhelm Müller as a landscape of emotions from loneliness to courage. Roadside features – a linden tree, an icy river, a malevolent crow – become characters in the drama, triggering old memories and new hope. And throughout it all, Schubert paints the emotional and physical surroundings in sound.
Directed by Lindy Hume, with video projections created by David Bergman (A Portrait of Dorian Gray), this captivating atlas of the emotions combines Schubert’s exquisite writing for voice and piano, Wilhelm Müller’s evocative verse, and the glowing visions of Australia dreamt up by iconic artist Fred Williams.
Join Musica Viva Australia to hear one of the world’s finest artists in a hauntingly beautiful meld of art and music.
