Leipzig Music Trail (Leipziger Notenspur) Exhibition

Richard Wagner’s major opera Tannhäuser, fully staged in Hong Kong for the first time, will be presented by the Hong Kong Arts Festival on March 1 and 2, 2019. The opera was a crucial work in the composer’s development of his ‘music drama’ ideal. To make the opera more accesible to a wider public, the Festival has arranged for a full series of accompanying programmes for the general public to participate during the Festival period.

Goethe-Institut Hongkong is pleased to collaborate with the Hong Kong Arts Festival again this year on one of the PLUS programmes: an accompanying exhibition to the opera Tannhäuser with a special music theme: Leipzig Music Trail (Leipziger Notenspur) Exhibition. Leipzig is home to an unusually high density of the preserved homes and workplaces of many renowned composers, including J.S. Bach, Mendelssohn, Clara and Robert Schumann, Wagner, and Mahler. Leipzig Music Trail connects these composers' homes to performance locations in the centre of Leipzig, providing opportunities for visitors to explore the stories behind the musical and cultural heritage of this "City of Music". Admission is free and the everyone is invited to experience this special music trail.
