Serenades II: Breath Line – An Approach to Käthe Kollwitz

When the opera closes its doors and the lights go off in the foyer, the house’s hidden rooms come to life – the dressmaking studio between glowing sewing machines, the backstage between storing curtains, the Tischlerei in dim light. Baritone Georg Nigl opens up these secret spaces for three intimate encounters between song and text.
Artists/Collaborators: Georg Nigl (Mit), Nina Hoss (Mit), Olga Pashchenko (Klavier)
