Festspiele Mecklenburg-Vorpommern: 360° The Myth of the Orchestra The World of the Orchestra: From Wagner to the Present Concert

Discover the heartbeat of the symphony with “Festspiele Mecklenburg‑Vorpommern: 360° The Myth of the Orchestra – The World of the Orchestra: From Wagner to the Present.” Together with the NDR Radiophilharmonie, this concert film pulls back the curtain on the orchestral conjuration that turns countless individual musicians into a single, soaring chorus. Follow the conductor’s baton, hear candid conversations, and immerse yourself in a program that melds classic legends with contemporary voices. The journey begins with Erich Wolfgang Korngold’s film‑music suite from *The Adventures of Robin Hood*, then splashes into the lyrical mood of Olga Neuwirth’s *Only an End*. Surprise intervenes with unsung modernity: Unsuk Chin’s *Immediately with Strength* and Kaija Anni Saariaho’s “Asteroid 4179: Toutatis.” The era of the 20th‑century maestro arrives as Neal Hefti’s “Changements – Stimmungsbilder” swirls into the air, only to be followed by Richard Wagner’s dramatic *Prelude and Liebestod* from *Tristan und Isolde*. The evening culminates with WWV 90—an electrifying new work commissioned by the Festspiele MV—and a cutting‑edge composition by the composition students of hmt Rostock, linking history to tomorrow. Step into a world where orchestral mastery is more than performance—it's philosophy. Watch, listen, and feel the myth of the orchestra unfold in real time, only on *What's After the Movie*.
