"Only when I experience something do I compose, and only when composing do I experience anything.".
Gustav Mahler

© DR Renowned in his time as an opera director, and as a prodigiously talented conductor in particular, today Gustav Mahler (1860-1911) is famous as a composer. On the centenary of his death, this exhibition pays tribute to a great musician who worked at the time when Romanticism was moving towards Modernism.
With the invaluable help of the archives department of the Musikverein in Vienna and the Mahler media library in Paris, we take a new look at Mahler as conductor and opera director. With a parallel study of his relationship with literature and nature, key sources for his work, the exhibition aims to put forward a more complete view of Mahler's life and his creative process.
