The Soldier's Tale

Approved

Russian composer and conductor Igor Stravinsky wrote L’Histoire du soldat (The Soldier’s Tale) in exile during the confusion of the First World War. A musical fairytale, simple and for a small ensemble. A work set to music in the style of old Russian storytellers and traveling players. Actor Dominique Horwitz, familiar to audiences in Leverkusen and beyond, plays all the different characters in Stravinsky’s story and, together with the musicians of the ARTE Ensemble, creates a gripping interpretation of this exciting soldier’s tale. The music: a mixture of tango and marches. Waltzes and ragtime. All slightly discordant. With a hint of the devil.
