KaiserRequiem

27 January is the International Holocaust Remembrance Day in memory of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp on 27 January 1945. To mark this day of remembrance, we are showing the new production KaiserRequiem. The evening will feature Viktor Ullmann's Der Kaiser von Atlantis, which he wrote in 1943/44 in the Theresienstadt concentration camp. Conductor Omer Meir Wellber combines Ullmann's chamber opera with the Requiem by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who was born on 27 January 1756 and whose 256th birthday we are also commemorating with this performance.
