MTT CONDUCTS DAS KLAGENDE LIED

Michael Tilson Thomas leads an internationally-renowned cast of singers in Mahler's earliest works. Although Das klagende Lied was conceived as an unstaged cantata, MTT and Stage Director James Darrah expand its scope to incorporate scenic elements, original projections by videographer Adam Larsen, costumes, and lighting to create a dark fairy tale kingdom where two brothers battle for a Queen's love.

Supported by the Barbro and Bernard Osher Staged Production Fund.
