Arnold Schoenberg's "Transfigured Night" is hailed as one of the most magnificent works in music history. Inspired by Richard Dehmel's poem of the same name, Schoenberg captures the essence of two lovers' moonlit journey through his masterful composition. With every gesture meticulously crafted, the woman's confession of carrying another man's child comes to life in the music.
To enrich the narrative, renowned dancers Helena Martín and Patrick de Bana grace the stage. Through contemporary dance, skillfully choreographed by Patrick de Bana, they magnify Schoenberg's composition, breathing vibrant life into the story of the lovers. This performance promises an unforgettable fusion of high-quality music and dance, appealing to both music and dance enthusiasts alike, ensuring an experience that leaves no audience member untouched.
