Regular: $40.24 to $193.16 Tx and fees incl.

Dive into Gustav Mahler’s rich and vibrant world, where legend, poetry, and raw emotion collide.

With Das klagende Lied—a dazzling work composed at just 20—Mahler crafts a dramatic tale where passion and jealousy clash in a spectacular orchestral whirlwind. In contrast, the songs of Des Knaben Wunderhorn reveal a more intimate Mahler: dreamy, playful, and deeply inspired by the charm of folk tales. Under the electrifying baton of Rafael Payare, the OSM Chorus, the OSM in full brilliance, and legendary baritone Matthias Goerne lead us through a sonic fresco that is both grand and deeply personal. An evening where Mahler makes the heart of Romanticism beat.
