《作曲家时光机》Classical Composers' Chronoporter

Classical Composers' Chronoporter is an unprecedented performance that seamlessly combines dual pianos, a string ensemble, vocals, and drama with martial arts, dance, and light art. It creatively weaves together the music and story of composers from various eras, such as Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Schubert, and Saint-Saëns.

We invite the audience to "travel" back to the 18th century and explore the lives of these composers. Audiences from any background or age group will be able to enjoy this spectacular performance.

Performance

The “Composers” will perform their own works live, immersing the audience in compelling stories. This show will bring the lives of composers from textbooks to life right before your eyes. Whether you play an instrument or not, you will gain a new appreciation for these composers' works when you hear them again.

Act 1: Piano Duo Performance
Mozart: Sonata for Two Pianos in D major, K. 448
In 1781, Mozart was fed up with the oppressive Archbishop of Salzburg. He planned to break free during his trip to Vienna and develop his career there. Did he succeed?

Act 2: String Ensemble and Martial Arts
Beethoven: Beethoven’s Virus
In 1798, Beethoven began infusing his music with personal emotions, laying the groundwork for the Romantic period. Despite losing his hearing, his passion for composing remained undiminished.

Act 3: Vocals, Piano, and Visual Arts
Schubert: Gretchen at the Spinning Wheel and Erlkönig
In 1815, Schubert, the "King of Art Songs," used music to vividly depict flowing water and trotting horses. His imaginative romanticism brought music to life.

Act 4: Piano Solo and Modern Dance
Chopin: Revolutionary Etude and Nocturne Op. 55, No. 1
In 1830, after leaving his homeland to compose and perform in Europe, Poland's defeat left Chopin feeling powerless and filled with rage. He ended a tumultuous relationship with George Sand and shortly lost his life to tuberculosis and depression.

Act 5: String Orchestra and Youth Dance Group
Saint-Saëns: Danse Bacchanale from Samson and Delilah
In 1876, France was a hub of European art, where many cultures influenced Saint-Saëns. His work on the Biblical story "Samson and Delilah" was rich in emotion and imagery.

Act 6: Trailer
Three actors will give a sneak peak of next year's composer series through a dramatic performance. Can you guess who will be the next year's composer?

We warmly invite all art enthusiasts to join us on August 30th or 31st at the Permaisuri Zarith Sofiah Opera House in Johor Bahru, to embark on a "time machine" journey through the rich history of music.
