Moonstruck Pierrot

Approved

Falling between Thursday’s Solstice and Saturday’s full moon, we present a starry late-night Britten Studio performance of Schoenberg’s extraordinary tale of Pierrot, “drunk on moonlight”.

It is 50 years since Schoenberg’s work was first heard at the Aldeburgh Festival, on 17 June 1974. Tonight’s late-night performance features leading artists The Nash Ensemble and Claire Booth. “Moonstruck Pierrot” sets poems from Albert Giraud’s cycle of the same name and in a vivid, often hallucinatory fashion relates Pierrot’s contemplation of matters both debaucherous and divine, brought on by the mysterious light of the full moon. It is one of the 20th century’s most distinctive and influential works.
