Theo Verbey) Musical theatre at Carré With the new musical theatre production Death in Venice, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra returns to the Royal Theatre Carré for the first time in a long time. This unique co-production with Internationaal Theater Amsterdam (ITA, formerly known as Toneelgroep Amsterdam), is based on Thomas Mann s classic novella and features newly composed music. Thomas Mann In Death in Venice, Thomas Mann tells the story of von Aschenbach - a celebrated German writer representing Mann s alter ego - who meets an innocent adolescent, Tadzio. The writer s intense, uncontrollable infatuation ultimately leads to his spiritual and physical destruction. In Ramsey Nasr s reworking as a musical theatre piece, the characters are performed by actors, but also by orchestral musicians and a singer. Music plays a leading role in the drama.
