The incomparable Allan Clayton and Kate Golla set out once again on A Winter’s Journey, warmed by Fred Williams’ glowing visions of Australia. Following triumphant performances in Australia and the UK, Musica Viva Australia is thrilled to present A Winter’s Journey in 2026 in partnership with Opera Australia.
The wanderer bids farewell to his lover and steps out into the night. Why does he leave? Where is he going? We don’t know. The journey is the thing.
Franz Schubert’s last song cycle, A Winter’s Journey, sets the poems of Wilhelm Müller as a landscape of emotions from loneliness to courage. Roadside features – a linden tree, an icy river, a malevolent crow – become characters in the drama, triggering old memories and new hope. And throughout it all, Schubert’s exquisite writing for voice and piano paints the emotional and physical surroundings in sound.
