A loving wife. A job promotion. An inheritance. With such a perfect life, how can things possibly go wrong? In The Ring of Polykrates, Wilhelm Arndt is about to discover just how quickly the tables can turn. The return of his best friend, Peter, should be the icing on the cake for Wilhelm’s life, but Peter clearly has other plans in mind. Peter’s jealousy is a worthy adversary to Wilhelm’s marriage, but only one can win. In this Viennese Operetta by Erich Wolfgang Korngold, the stakes are high and sacrifices must be made. Paired with a performance of Korngold’s magnificent Violin Concerto in D major, featuring acclaimed violinist Augustin Dumay, the evening will be a celebration of a genius who is not performed nearly enough.
