Description A unique theatrical event - Leider-Opera...Lieder-Opera is a work for voice and piano, but is not performed as a concert. This is produced, dramatic, theatre. It is a combination of all that is grand in opera, but is focussed, intense and in miniature. It explodes the boundaries of the Concert platform.
