In the organizer's words:

Opera

The great soprano returns to Mannheim
In German

Diana Damrau began her international career in Mannheim. As a young singer, she was able to try out a wide variety of roles at the Nationaltheater and develop a repertoire that prepared her for the world's great stages. Now the celebrated soprano returns for a recital - with a program that illuminates experiences and images of nature from a Romantic perspective, focusing on selected songs by Franz Schubert: from the luminous, hopeful "Gott im Frühling" to the dreamy "Nachtviolen" and "Der Hirt auf dem Felsen". The "Sechs deutsche Lieder" op. 103 by Louis Spohr and "Seit ich ihn gesehen" op. 82 by Franz Lachner add further facets of Romantic sentiment to the program. The evening is given a special tonal color by one of Gustav Mahler's most intimate and at the same time most ambiguous songs: "Das himmlische Leben" creates the image of a childishly imagined paradise. Another rarity is the "Heitere Herbarium", with which Hermann Prey celebrated great success back in the 1950s. Damrau will be accompanied by Helmut Deutsch, one of the most important Lied pianists of our time, who will also take this opportunity to inaugurate the Nationaltheater's new Steinway D grand piano.
