Cinderella – Fairytale virtuosity
Podcast episode on the concert programme
Between Shakespeare's sombre Hamlet and Prokofiev's fairy-tale ‘Cinderella’, the Sinfonieorchester Basel's second subscription concert opens up a new soundscape: the world premiere of the revised version of Stefano Gervasoni's violin concerto ‘Tacet’, performed by Patricia Kopatchinskaja. Under the baton of Elim Chan, drama, fairy tales and silence come together and merge into a multifaceted concert evening. Dramaturg Benjamin Herzog tells the stories behind the scores.
