Controversial, expressive, inventive and fun! In this performance of Arnold Schönberg’s melodrama Pierrot Lunaire, Patricia Kopatchinskaja gives a brilliant performance as the reciter, playing moonstruck clown Pierrot.

The poems, by Albert Giraud, are performed with neverending energy, imagination and humour. In addition to Schönberg, we’ll also hear works by Bartók, Milhaud, J Strauss II and Sciarrino. Musicians from Gothenburg Symphony will provide the music.
