THE LAST DAYS OF HUMANITY?<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n with Georg Nigl, Nicholas Ofczarek, Vladimir Jurowski<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For Georg Nigl, art song should always address the contradictions and danger zones of our time. Together with Nicholas Ofczarek and Vladimir Jurowski, in \u201cDie letzten Tage der Menschlichkeit?\u201d (The Last Days of Humanity?) he embarks on an adventure with the texts of Karl Kraus and the music of Gustav Mahler and Hanns Eisler, creations by three artists who, over a hundred years ago, examined the everyday reality of war and its individual consequences for each person as if under a magnifying glass.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Last Days of Humanity?\u201d with these three exceptional artists celebrated a sold-out premiere at the Vienna State Opera in January 2025, was performed at the Bavarian State Opera in July, and is now returning to the opera house on the Ring for a matinee performance.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Date \u2192 The last Days of Humanity? <\/p>\n Die letzten Tage der Menschlichkeit? \/ Lieder <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Hanns Eisler \/ Bertolt Brecht<\/p>\n Ballade vom Wasserrad<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Hanns Eisler \/ William Shakespeare<\/p>\n Horatios Monolog<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Hanns Eisler \/ Friedrich H\u00f6lderlin<\/p>\n An die Hoffnung<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Gustav Mahler \/ Des Knaben Wunderhorn<\/p>\n Urlicht<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Gustav Mahler \/ Des Knaben Wunderhorn<\/p>\n Der Tambourg\u2019sell<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Hanns Eisler \/ Bertolt Brecht<\/p>\n Spruch 1939<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Gustav Mahler \/ Des Knaben Wunderhorn<\/p>\n Wo die sch\u00f6nen Trompeten blasen<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Hanns Eisler \/ Kurt Tucholsky<\/p>\n Der Graben<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dmitri Schostakowitsch<\/p>\n Prelude op. 34\/14 (Klavier solo)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Gustav Mahler \/ Des Knaben Wunderhorn<\/p>\n Revelge<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Pete Seeger \/ Max Colpet<\/p>\n Sag mir, wo die Blumen sind<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Hanns Eisler \/ Peter Altenberg<\/p>\n Und endlich stirbt die Sehnsucht doch<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Georg Nigl, Nicholas Ofczarek and Vladimir Jurowski in \u2018Die letzten Tage der Menschlichkeit?\u2019 (The Last Days of Humanity?) with songs based on texts by Karl Kraus and music by Gustav Mahler and Hanns Eisler on 26 October 2025 from 11 a.m. to 12.30 p.m. in the Grand Hall of the Vienna State Opera.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":10272,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[217,208],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10276","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-home","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hanns-eisler.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10276","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hanns-eisler.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hanns-eisler.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hanns-eisler.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hanns-eisler.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10276"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hanns-eisler.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10276\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hanns-eisler.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10272"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hanns-eisler.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10276"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hanns-eisler.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10276"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hanns-eisler.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10276"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
