Winter Journey, Franz Schubert

Song Evening
Winterreise
Franz Schubert

Franz Schubert’s profound masterpiece of Romantic song touches the audience in the atmospheric setting of the Krypta of St. Peter’s Church. For his Winterreise, Schubert set 24 songs to poems by Wilhelm Müller about a wanderer who has given up everything but follows his longing.
Austrian bass-baritone Florian Pejrimovsky is a favorite among Viennese audiences. Known for roles such as Scarpia (Tosca), Germont (La Traviata), and the title role in Rigoletto, he impresses in this song evening with Ekaterina Nokkert on piano through his sensitivity and expressive handling of the demanding nuances. A special pleasure for connoisseurs and those who wish to become one.
Established as Austria’s smallest theater, the song evenings and opera performances are distinguished by their high quality. Located deep beneath St. Peter’s Church in Vienna, this extraordinary venue offers a personal experience rarely found elsewhere.
The KRYPTA is pleasantly tempered all year round.
