Olivier Messiaens zehnsätzige Turangalîla-Sinfonie ist ein gewaltiger Kraftakt: Zur ohnehin gigantischen Orchesterbesetzung mit üppigem Schlagwerk treten ein fast schon unverschämt schwieriger Klavierpart, die ätherischen Klänge der „himmlischen“ Celesta und die Ondes Martenot – ein exotisches elektronisches Instrument, dessen sphärische Klänge vor allem Science-Fiction-Fans bekannt vorkommen dürften. Ohnehin schwelgt Oliver Messiaen in der Turangalîla-Sinfonie hemmungslos im Exotischen, mit einer Musik, die mal an indische Talas, mal an indonesische Gamelan-Orchester erinnert. Und weil dieses Werk so komplex, so gewaltig und so anders ist, hat Dirigent Patrick Hahn sich etwas Besonderes einfallen lassen: „Wir planen im ersten Teil eine Einführung auf der Bühne mitsamt dem Orchester, damit das Publikum in dieses Werk noch tiefer eintauchen kann.“ Im zweiten Teil erklingt Messiaens Sinfonie dann komplett – und wird zu einer noch intensiveren Hörerfahrung.

Introduction to the concert

Professor Lutz-Werner Hesse provides an insight into the compositions and the creative work of the composer, as well as an overview of the historical context and background in a half-hourly concert introduction on the Mondays of symphony concerts performed by the Wuppertal Symphony Orchestra. Soloists or the conductor share interesting facts about the concert programme in dialogue with the audience.

Professor Lutz-Werner Hesse is a composer and the managing director of the Wuppertal department of the Hochschule für Musik und Tanz Köln.

Tickets for symphony concerts on Monday evenings include entrance to these concert introductions at 7.00 pm free of charge. (Please note, spaces are limited.)

The venue for the talk is signposted in the foyer.

Directions

The Historische Stadthalle is located in the heart of North Rhine-Westphalia and lies in the centre of Wuppertal-Elberfeld. We are easily reached by public transport. The ICE train station and local bus stops are in the immediate vicinity.

This is where you will find detailed directions.

Parking Flat Day Rate

Make use of our flat day rate for parking. It only costs 4 euros. One useful tip: you can pay at the pay stations in the multi-storey car park itself or in the stairwell either when you return to your vehicle or in advance of attending events. That will save you time waiting at the pay stations after the end of events.

Wheelchair ramps and lifts (with announcement) will provide you with easy access to all rooms.

Parking spaces for disabled people are available both in the multi-storey car park and in the Südstrasse car park.
