Hebrides Ensemble - Pierrot Lunaire
Hebrides Ensemble, Sylvie Rohrer (actress)
Arnold Schoenberg's Pierrot Lunaire is nothing short of a music theatre landmark. A strikingly significant work, it launched the career of Hebrides Ensemble some twenty years ago.We take to the road in March with 4 performances of this seminal masterpiece. This fascinating work by Arnold Schoenberg, setting Albert Giraud's dark, eerie poems to music, created for speaking/singing female performer and chamber ensemble was first performed in Berlin in 1912. It's dubbed by Stravinsky as 'the solar plexus of Twentieth Century music'. It is a challenging, exciting piece, and has in the past been performed by vocalists as diverse as Cleo Laine and Bjork: for this tour Hebrides Ensemble have teamed up with the Vienna Burgtheater's lead actor, the excellent Sylvie Rohrer.
