DESCRIPTION

The Hamburg State Opera presents Robert Schumann's stunning and rarely performed oratorio, Paradise and the Peri. The story centers on the banished Peri, a mythical spirit, and her desperate quest for redemption. Brilliantly portrayed by Vera-Lotte Boecker, the Peri must find the gift most pleasing to Heaven—an act of self-sacrifice and profound love—to regain her lost paradise. The production transforms this 19th-century work into a timely parable about empathy and hope in a world grappling with crises.

Rated: U, Runtime: 1 hour 38 min, Genre: Music/Drama/Opera
