Die tote Stadt
An operatic performance of "Die tote Stadt" at the scenic Wolkenturm venue.
Die tote Stadt (The Dead City) is an opera by Erich Wolfgang Korngold, first performed in 1920. Based on Georges Rodenbach's novel Bruges-la-Morte, it follows a man consumed by grief and obsession over his dead wife. The work is a key piece of late Romantic opera and is particularly known for the aria Marietta's Lied.
