Heaven & Earth | Franui | Familie Flöz, masquerade | Anna Prohaska, soprano | Florian Boesch, baritone

A musical masquerade by the Flöz Family and Musicbanda Franui

This production was premiered at the Berlin State Opera in 2019: In it, Musicbanda meets the Fölz Family, a world-renown troupe of mimes that produce their theater of magic without words – but with marvelous music. In their first collaboration, Franui and Flöz concocted a Lied-opera consisting of music from Beethoven to Webern, in which they rhapsodize about love, longing, and hope… and how it might be reconciled with the inevitability of death. Together with the remarkable soprano Anna Prohaska und the equally exceptional baritone Florian Boesch, they dissect the psychic makeup of German romanticism. Spoiler alert: All ends well when death dies and love prevails.
