During the afternoon of Saturday 15th June clarinetist Karel Dohnal will perform Karlheinz Stockhausen’s Harlequin at Třeboň theatre. Stockhausen is not normally thought of as being playful and hilarious – but this performance promises to be both. A virtuoso solo clarinetist performs, dances and plays to the camera while portraying the Commedia dell’Arte character, Harlequin. Karel Dohnal does it superbly in a performance suitable for all the family.
Karel Dohnal's performance of Karelheinz Stockhausen's Harlequin was, quite simply, one of the most astonishing 45 minutes I've experienced.....
