Schoenberg remains one of the top five composers in the entire Western Canon.

Lucy Shelton is a Diva!

@DougYfunnie Well, it's about insanity, and sometimes insanity is freaky and weird; especially for the people going through it.

Lovely! (Though Schoenberg would object...) The music perfectly expresses the vague, misty, eerie, feelings of the text, and the choreography only adds to it! Its obviously not meant to be taken literally for the most part. The choreography is just vague enough to obstruct the music. The singer could be louder in certain parts though...

i am really impressed with the art direction in this production. you guys just got yourselves a new fan. just saw a performance of this last night, followed by a jazz composer's adaptation based on themes from selected movements; so it was on my brain~~this is really the sort of thing i'd always hoped someone would do with this piece! kudos!

I just sniffed two tubes of glue and I still don't get it. I'll try some gas later.

The only way to consider this sh!t music or even a composition, it`s to fill the critic with absurd comments. I know you Iam an ignorant....... hahaha, surely many will thing you are great music gurus.......
-
Excellent, engaging production, thanks for sharing this!
-
the whole suite is excellent
atonal music is not my usual thing either nut Pierrot Lunaire is unusally charismatic

I usually don't like Schoenberg's work and generally I hate opera, but this is too bizarre for me not to like.



what amazes me is the time this was written...and still, almost 100 years later, in the 21st century you have people saying this is "straight up freaky weird" and "the worst/scarriest thing I've ever seen". Schoenberg changed the face of music but it is yet to be totally accepted by mainstream musical society. Does anyone consider, maybe this is *supposed* to be freaky and weird?
