A new Ukrainian opera brings tragedy and hope to the stage of the Polish National Opera in an outstanding world premiere. 

The Ukrainian Freedom Orchestra provide darkness with the suite from a new opera about Crimea, then balm with Four Last Songs, wonderfully sung by Lise Davidsen. High-speed Beethoven follows.

Erich Korngold and Arnold Schoenberg – Viennese emigrés in Hollywood – formed the unlikely pairing in the Ukrainian conductor's Konzerthaus programme.
