Helge Burggrabe Katharina Fraumünster, Zürich 02

Conductor Jörg Ulrich Busch Julia Jentsch, Keiko Enomoto, Muriel Schwarz, Alexandra Busch, Ulrike Andersen, Philipp Classen, Davud Werner, Uli Bützer, Jan Kuhar Libretto by Giannina Wedde The oratorio KATHARINA tells of Katharinas inner transformation and links it with the deep knowledge that everything has its time. Becoming is always followed by a time of passing away and dying, before transformation and then new growth and blossoming are possible. Understood in this way, the Reformation is not just a historical event, but an ongoing process whose struggle for harmonious forms always has the vitality of faith as its benchmark.
