UN REQUIEM ALLEMAND, BRAHMS – STAGED BY DAVID BOBÉE

Brahms
Ein deutsches Requiem

Brahms sings of humanity, and David Bobée gives it a face. In a powerful staging where the wounds of the world meet the fervor of music, this German Requiem moves and enlightens in equal measure.

In 2022, their collaboration on Beethoven’s Fidelio left a lasting impression. Stage director David Bobée reunites with Laurence Equilbey and Insula orchestra for Ein deutsches Requiem. Johannes Brahms described his Requiem as a “human requiem”, universal before religious. David Bobée imagines a striking staging marked by the visual power of a smoking airplane fuselage crashed to the ground. Today’s concerns echo through the dark romanticism of Brahms.

This concert is interpreted in period instruments.
