Are there more adventurous violinists than Patricia Kopatchinskaja? In her new concert concept, she examines the myth of Prometheus and explores themes such as rebellion, enlightenment, and the quest for knowledge. A surprising light design ignites the fire – a symbol of power and knowledge. Beethoven's Die Geschöpfe des Prometheus opens the evening, after which his Third Symphony Eroica is literally broken open by interventions from Kopatchinskaja, Le Chaos by Jean-Féry Rebel, and Schönberg's satirical Ode to Napoleon. Analogous to the people who received fire from Prometheus, the question is posed: “What do we do with this power? And how do we avoid self-destruction?” Kopatchinskaja and Ensemble Resonanz have as many questions as answers.
