Following triumphant performances in Australia and the United Kingdom, Musica Viva Australia is thrilled to present A Winter's Journey in 2026 in partnership with Opera Australia.
Franz Schubert's last song cycle, A Winter's Journey, sets the poems of Wilhelm Müller as a landscape of emotions from loneliness to courage. Roadside features – a linden tree, an icy river, a malevolent crow – become characters in the drama, triggering old memories and new hope.
... And throughout it all, Schubert's exquisite writing for voice and piano paints the emotional and physical surroundings in sound. Musica Viva Australia presents internationally-acclaimed British tenor Allan Clayton and Australian pianist Kate Golla in a unique presentation of A Winter's Journey.
Director Lindy Hume maps the journey across a desolate terrain, while videographer David Bergman choreographs the scenery using the remarkable visions of Australian artist Fred Williams OBE to colour and illuminate this haunting atlas of the emotions.
