The Sorcerer's Apprentice
3rd Family Concert / »The Sorcerer's Apprentice« Text based on Johann Wolfgang von Goethe / Music by Paul Dukas and John Williams
Marguerre-Saal
»That old sorcerer has vanished
And for once has gone away!
Spirits called by him, now banished,
My commands shall soon obey.«
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's »Sorcerer's Apprentice« comes to stage in a special form: this time with a whole orchestra! The sorcerer's apprentice is to prove himself in a musical way. Will he manage to bring the spirits of music under control and solve the riddles of the sorcerer?
Together with the Philharmonisches Orchester Heidelberg, the sorcerer's apprentice and conductor Dietger Holm must fulfill a number of musical tasks set by the wizard, played by Marco Albrecht. This concert features magical music for the ears. On the programme: Paul Dukas' »The Sorcerer's Apprentice« and parts of John Williams' »Harry Potter Suite«.
