Together with the internationally acclaimed mezzo-soprano Anne Sofie von Otter, Christof Loy creates an intimate evening of music theatre. Inspired by the songs of Franz Schubert, which oscillate between the joy of life and the longing for death, the two tell of the extremes of human feelings. In addition to the Winter Journey song cycle, other works of the composer will be performed. Anne Sofie von Otter, whose?career began in Basel, is one of the most celebrated singers in the world. She will be accompanied on the piano forte by the internationally acclaimed pianist Kristian Bezuidenhout.
