An Evening of Arnold Schönberg in Nice: Pelléas und Mélisande, Ewartung, Pierrot Lunaire, and More

Dec. 03, 2024

On December 6, Opéra Nice Côte d'Azur will present an evening of works by Arnold Schönberg, including Pelléas und Mélisande, Ewartung, Pierrot Lunaire, and his Piano Concerto. Titled Transfiguré: 12 Vies de Schönberg, the show is performed by the Orchestre Philharmonique de Nice led by Johanna Malangré. Acknowledging Schönberg's groundbreaking contributions to modern music, the presenter notes: "With these twelve stations, in the image of the twelve tones of the scale that structure his dodecaphonic system, we invite you on a journey through the kaleidoscope of a creation in perpetual transfiguration: from Pelléas et Mélisande to Erwartung, from Pierrot Lunaire to the Piano Concerto, in the most diverse formations (orchestra, lied, piano...), it's the whole variegated universe of this unique creator that we're invited to discover."
