Antigone
In the organizer's words:
Antigone opposes the ruler of Thebes, her uncle Creon, without regard for her own life. He has forbidden, under penalty of death, the burial of her brother Polyneikes, attacker of the city. Antigone wants to give her brother a dignified burial, and in doing so upsets an entire state.In Sophocles' 2500-year-old resistance tragedy Antigone . The centerpiece is the chorus, which uncharacteristically takes sides. Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy could not resist this and set the work to music in his incidental music for Antigone . Mendelssohn's music is juxtaposed with literary texts surrounding the Antigone myth. Choral director David Cavelius thus invites us to a literary-symphonic evening with the choral soloists of the Komische Oper Berlin, which poses the question of the compatibility of self-will and the common good.
