Alfred Felder im Gespräch mit Andrea Erny
World premiere of the opera Walpurgis Night – Alfred Felder in conversation with Andrea Erny
“One dances, one chats, one cooks, one drinks, one loves; / Now tell me, where can one find something better?”
The Walpurgisnacht scene from Goethe’s Faust inspired not only Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, but also the Winterthur composer Alfred Felder to create a new piece. It is our pleasure and honor to present the world premiere of this commissioned work by the Musikkollegium Winterthur together with the orchestra. Andrea Erny, a member of the board and a contralto, met with the composer in advance of the performance.
