3Abschied
In 1921, Arnold Schoenberg undertook the transcription for a group of thirteen musicians of Mahler's Das Lied von der Erde. Choreographers Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker and Jérôme Bel propose a triple interpretation of the last movement of this famous work, 'Der Abschied'. As the first collaboration between one of the most important figures on the international dance scene and a radical and controversial artist, the world premiere of 3Abschied is the choreographic part of a diptych devoted to Das Lied von der Erde. A highly awaited event!

Das Lied von der Erde
After opening the season with the memorable Symphony No. 6 by Gustav Mahler, conductor Hartmut Haenchen is back for the diptych devoted to Das Lied von der Erde, one of the last masterpieces of the end of the romantic period, composed by Mahler following the death of his oldest daughter. Based on Chinese poems from the Tang dynasty, this symphony in six movements takes its leave of life peacefully, vanishing into death. Or is it about the emergence of new life?

Recital Dietrich Henschel
Within a few seasons, baritone Dietrich Henschel has become one of the most highly acclaimed singers at La Monnaie. Magnificent in the title role of Wozzeck and sombre and disturbing as Golaud in Pelléas et Mélisande, he revealed original nuances in the diabolical character Nick Shadow in The Rake's Progress last autumn. He will be back in our theatre on 21 February for an original performance of Franz Schubert's Swan Song with pianist Fritz Schwinghammer and stage director Clara Pons.
