The music theater evening, conducted by Lorenzo Viotti and staged by Calixto Bieito in a room designed by Rebecca Ringst, combines two key works by Gustav Mahler. The early fairy tale cantata by the 19-year-old Das klagende Lied (1879/80) was followed by the late Kindertotenlieder from the first half of his last decade (1901/04).
In the Klagende Lied, a hybrid of song, symphony and choral cantata, a series of opera plans that the conservatory graduate never realized came to fruition in a creative examination of Richard Wagner's music drama. In this way, the young composer took up the two most advanced Ring scores, Siegfried and Götterdämmerung, both in terms of harmony and instrumentation, as well as the archaic intonations of the Meistersinger, and created, also as his own lyricist, a far-reaching fairytale cosmos full of open and hidden allusions to Wagner's world of myths. Mahler weaves motifs from the Children's and Household Tales (1812-1858) by the Brothers Grimm and from Ludwig Bechstein's New German Fairy Tale Book (1865) into the ballad »on the singing bones«.
