Moses und Aron trailer

Shortly after writing Moses und Aron, Schoenberg fled to the USA to escape the Nazi led persecution of European Jews. In this debate leading social commentators consider whether multiple cultures and religions can exist side by side in modern day Britain. The panel will tackle questions such as is multiculturalism really to blame for the erosion of community?

Chair: Abdul Rehman Malik, Journalist and Programme Director of the Radical Middle Way

Panel: Julie Siddiqi, from the Islamic Society of Britain

Daniel Trilling, Editor of the New Humanist magazine

Recorded at the Royal Opera House on Monday 2 June 2014

Is there room in Britishness for cultural difference?

Imagine you’ve been told the most important thing man has ever been told. What you have been told will change the world and save mankind.

You must now share what you have heard, you are God’s spokesperson on earth. Imagine, however, that you are overcome with despair that you find yourself unable to find the right words to communicate God’s will. This is Moses’ tragedy in Moses und Aron.

It is impossible to listen to Schoenberg’s ‘fragmentary masterpiece’ and not be stunned by his achievement. Moses und Aron reaches to the outer limits of what opera was capable of in the last century. It’s a sound so unique, so urgent that you might be forgiven for thinking that it has come down from heaven itself.

Welsh National Opera is proud to stage this rarely performed opera in Sergio Morabito and Jossi Wieler’s highly charged production. Moses und Aron is a huge undertaking for both performers and audiences but the rewards will be extraordinary.
