Gripping melodrama

Dive into the world of Richard Strauss's Enoch Arden , a compelling melodrama that uniquely combines music and spoken word. This 19th-century art form offers you an intimate theatrical experience, in which the dramatic effects of sound and story merge into an unforgettable experience.

Let yourself be moved by a timeless story

The piece tells the heartbreaking story of Enoch Arden, his wife Annie Lee, and their friend Philip Ray. An epic poem by Alfred, Lord Tennyson from 1864 inspired Strauss to create this arrangement for narrator and piano.

Pianist Hanna Shybayeva, a child prodigy who rose to prominence as a captivating musician, accompanies him with her expressive playing. Together, they create a musical synergy not to be missed.
