Wozzeck simply has to be experienced live.
‘Wretches like us – we’ll always be cursed, in this world and the next.’ Poor Wozzeck is at the bottom of the heap – an underdog made for kicking, and an easy target for the powerful, the cynical and the cruel. Alban Berg’s devastating opera tells the story of a man pushed to breaking point, in some of the most searching – and searing – music of the 20th century. Wozzeck is one of those operas that simply has to be experienced live, and this one-off concert staging, with Edward Gardner conducting a cast of world-class dramatic singers, should leave you reeling.
This concert has been especially developed with the Southbank Centre, with further details to be announced.
Concert supported by a syndicate of donors.
*Edward Gardner’s position in the LPO is generously supported by Aud Jebsen.

Ultimately, though, the evening belonged to Gardner, his orchestra and choruses, outstanding throughout, and simply unforgettable.
