Verklärte Nacht (Transfigured Night) is based on Schoenberg’s late romantic music for strings and a poem by Richard Dehmel about a woman who, on a moonlit night in a forest, confesses to the man she loves that she is pregnant with someone else’s child. Expressive crescendos and diminuendos guide us through dramatic events, echoing an ever-modulating stream of emotions. For the first time, this 2014 version of Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker’s interpretation of Schoenberg’s shamelessly romantic love story is presented with live orchestra.
