Zemlinsky’s Der Zwerg (The Dwarf)

Sir Donald Runnicles, conductor
details & tickets
With The Dwarf, Alexander von Zemlinsky came to terms with his traumatic love affair with Alma Schindler, who had left him, a relatively short and outwardly unattractive man, to marry Gustav Mahler. In his production, director Tobias Kratzer has not dealt with this autobiographical background to the opera in this way, but has staged the piece as a modern fairy tale about the birthday of a rich, spoilt and ruthless daughter from a wealthy family.
Vision
GTMF’s vision is to be among the finest music festivals in the world and a vital part of Jackson Hole’s distinctive culture of excellence.
Mission
Our mission is to engage, entertain, educate and inspire our resident and seasonal communities through exhilarating musical experiences. We feature orchestral, chamber and solo performances of primarily classical music by world-class artists, and we foster a culture that draws outstanding musicians to Jackson Hole in support of this mission.
