Join Marc Deaton for Postcards from Pierrot, his theatrical journey through great masterpieces of the twentieth century by Alban Berg and Arnold Schoenberg in which he explores the evolution of speak-singing and its effects on opera, jazz, and theater.

Alban Berg has figured prominently in the career of tenor Marc Deaton, including leading roles in the operas Wozzeck and Lulu. Mr. Deaton will perform Berg’s elegant Altenberg Lieder based on picture postcard texts by Peter Altenberg.

The evening’s journey progresses to two of Arnold Schoenberg’s greatest vocal works: The Book of the Hanging Gardens, with decadent texts by Stefan George; and the surrealist masterpiece Pierrot Lunaire, based on poems by Albert Giraud. Kelly Horsted will collaborate on the piano for these works.

Mr. Deaton has performed Pierrot Lunaire at the prestigious Arnold Schoenberg Center in Vienna and many other distinguished venues. For a preview, go to this link to hear Mr. Deaton’s performance at the  Schoenberg Center. Pierrot Lunaire will be performed with its full five-person orchestra conducted by Nathaniel Baker.
