About this event
Young Schubert was swept away by Johann Michael Vogl’s performance as Orestes in Gluck’s Iphigenia in Tauris at Vienna’s Hofoper in 1813. They met for the first time four years later, beginning a creative friendship that inspired Schubert to write some of his greatest songs, Erlkönig and Ganymed among them. James Newby recalls the composer’s debt to Vogl with a programme that reveals the profound depth and enduring legacy of their collaboration.
