Inside the Music

Explore one of the most innovative scores in the history of music with Alain Altinoglu. What stories lie behind the creation of an opera? How does a work touch the public's heart? What innovations enrich it? How does the orchestra contribute to the birth of emotions? With Inside the Music, you enter the heart of lyrical scores on display at the Monnaie, through an accessible analysis. During this meeting dedicated to Wozzeck by Alban Berg, Alain Altinoglu, musical director of the Monnaie and conductor of the production, will sit at the piano to immerse you in the expressionist universe of the work. Through live excerpts, he will explain how Berg explores atonality and leitmotive, and provide keys to better understand and listen to this fascinating score.
