About this event
Banished from Paradise, the Peri must wander the Earth in search of a single act of true goodness that will guide her back to happiness. In 1843, Robert Schumann brought her story to life in music full of beauty, hope and emotion. Rarely performed, this extraordinary work is a labour of true love for Edward Gardner, who is joined by an all-star cast and the full London Philharmonic Choir. Don’t miss it.
*Sung in German with English surtitles
**Edward Gardner’s position with the LPO is generously supported by Aud Jebsen.
