The programme concludes with Schubert’s setting of Schiller’s epic ballad ‘Der Taucher’: an opera in song with the drama of an action movie that, as Graham Johnson writes, ‘has everything: a villainous tyrant, a pretty and compassionate princess, whirlpools and sea-monsters, and a young hero whose Superman powers desert him for the finale’.As with almost every evening recital this year, we introduce an outstanding duo of emerging artists at the start of the concert, tonight to perform Elgar’s Sea Pictures. All evening concerts this year are performed twice, at 5.30pm and 8.15pm. Schubert: Songs of the Sea and Schubert: Winterreise follow a slightly different pattern to the other repeated performances during the festival. This 8.15pm performance will be in-person and live streamed. Please see Event 27 for information on the in-person only performance THE DAY BEFORE at 5.30pm. Enjoy the whole festival live online for £165 with a Digital Festival Pass. All events will be available on demand after broadcast until 30th November, so you can catch up at a time which suits you.
