Are there people whose days have more than 24 hours? If so, then Jörg Widmann is undoubtedly one of them. To describe him as a clarinettist is clearly not enough. Widmann is now at least as busy as a conductor. As a composer, he can look back on an impressive, constantly growing oeuvre. And as a teacher, he has been training the next generation of composers and clarinettists in various professorships for more than two decades. "My problem has always been: too many ideas," says Widmann. Since last season, the Alte Oper has been focusing on Jörg Widmann's artistic work. It began with the visionary composer and will enter its second round with the charismatic teacher in the 2023/24 season.
