Internationally acclaimed theatre and opera director Deborah Warner created a musical show based on Franz Schubert’s famous lieder cycle Winterreise (Winter Journey). The Wanderer is embodied by two iconic artists and lied aficionados, tenor Ian Bostridge and pianist Julius Drake, performing these 24 quintessential melodies of German Romanticism. This poignant piece steeped in nostalgia revolves around wandering, loss, memories, and forced loneliness – a winter journey imbued with the desperate love of a heart still burning.
