«Die tote Stadt» tells the story of Paul, who mourns his deceased wife Marie, falls in love with her image Marietta and struggles with past and future: For Rudolf Buchbinder and countless admirers of the genre, Erich Wolfgang Korngold’s opera is one of the highlights of music history. The colourfully orchestrated score and evergreens such as the duet «Glück, das mir verblieb» and the baritone aria «Mein Sehnen, mein Wähnen» have delighted audiences since the double premiere in Hamburg and Cologne in 1920.
