Ritual & intoxication - The 7th Symphony as a dance of time

The concert explores the close connection between dance, ritual and symphonic music. Inspired by Richard Wagner's description of Beethoven's Seventh Symphony as the "apotheosis of dance", the evening unfolds as a musical procession in which movement and rhythm constantly intensify. Various scenes and works from different eras shed light on how dance plays a central role in different contexts - from solemn mourning ceremonies to ecstatic celebrations.
