Schreker: Die Gezeichneten - Act III: "Ah, welche Nacht!"

For those of you who want to travel to Los Angeles, the LA Opera is performing this opera in concert version in the spring of 2010. It was originally to be staged, but the company is short on money.

Schwanewilms is the best you can get for a ticket today... Simply great... the nicest voice ive heard in years.... Light... as the best romantic tradition... dramatic and a very good actress... what else? Thanks for posting a clip from a singer, that has to be listened to...

There are cuts in this though.

FABULOUS! What music this is. Such a theatrical opera. It's a crime this isn't done as often as Traviata.

Unfortunately Mina this music was buried by the Nazi's in WWII as "degenerate art" and it just only resurfaced about 30 years ago in the late 70's The whole story is racy by today's standards and so when it was written in 1918 it was really racy and though popular may not have seen much performance until now anyway.

This opera is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!!. And I'm seeing madame Schwanewilms in recital next Wednesday. Looking forward to it :))))

I just saw schwanewilms as Chrysotemis at Covent Garden. she stole the show

I saw Schwanewilms live in Berlin as Senta
she absolutely amazing. Such an amazing voice. Huge and secure and beautiful dramatic voice I hope to hear her many times again.
