The Dresdner Musikfestspiele present the world premiere of David Chesky’s »White Rose Triology« with a visual concept by Barbara Luisi

Commemorating the resistance fighter Sophie Scholl and her execution by the Gestapo 80 years ago, the Dresdner Musikfestspiele presents a world premiere by the American composer David Chesky on June 2, 2023 at the Festspielhaus Hellerau. The »White Rose Triology« is a cycle of works in three movements for orchestra and chorus, reflecting the fate of this member of the resistance through musical and visual means.

The Dresden Music Festival Opens on May 18, Presenting 64 Concerts Full of Contrasts

The Dresden Music Festival launches a season full of contrasts on May 18, 2023 under the motto »BLACKANDWHITE«. Its opening night features the Munich Philharmonic under the baton of Tugan Sokhiev with soprano Christiane Karg in a program uniting two musical worlds: Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 6 in B-minor Op. 54, created when war was still uppermost in its composer’s mind, is juxtaposed with Mahler’s dream-like Symphony No. 4 in G-major.

The Dresden Music Festival launches an artistic and academic Wagner Project with the Dresden Festival Orchestra and Concerto Köln

As part of a comprehensive artistic and academic project, the Dresden Music Festival will explore the original sound of Richard Wagner, starting in 2023. The project’s mission is to present an annual concert performance of one part of Richard Wagner’s opera tetralogy »Der Ring des Nibelungen« by the Dresden Festival Orchestra and Concerto Köln under the baton of Kent Nagano, using historical instruments and the linguistic style of the time of its creation. The performance of Richard Wagner’s »Das Rheingold« at Dresden’s Kulturpalast on June 14, 2023 marks the project’s official launch.
