Michelangelo Buonarotti is best known as a sculptor and painter, yet this Renaissance polymath was also a first-rate poet, writing sonnets of passionate intensity. This program is a hyper-examination of Michelangelo’s profound thoughts about art, mortality, love and faith through three different composers’ responses to his poetry.Performers; Jeremy Kleeman (bass-baritone) and Jack Symonds (piano) have worked together for a decade performing operas of all kinds, with Kleeman recently assuming the title role in Symonds’s Gilgamesh to great acclaim.
Program:
Hugo Wolf Michelangelo-Lieder; Jack Symonds In Stone (world premiere, commissioned by Opera Queensland); Dmitry Shostakovich Suite on Verses of Michelangelo, Op. 145. Tickets:
