What makes it unique is above all the blend of folk-song-like melodies and a multifaceted orchestral sound inspired by Richard Wagner. The colorful staged performance is conducted by Kirill Petrenko. Also featured: the Vokalhelden choir. This ensemble stems from the Berlin Philharmonic’s education program, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this season.
