On the occasion of its 450th jubilee, the Staatskapelle Berlin under its General Music Director Daniel Barenboim embarks on a journey through the history of music. With Wagner and Beethoven, two composers are represented, who determine the Staatskapelle's repertoire in a special way, in both opera and symphonic works. This is accompanied by advanced music from the 20th and 21st centuries, by Boulez and Widmann, who has dedicated a new composition work to the Staatskapelle.
