ALMA

The story of Alma Mahler as never told before. She is known as the Wife, the Lover, and the Muse who inspired great artists. For years she was scorned and derided as "The Widow of the four Arts" but little is known of her bereavement. Little is told of the children that Alma bore to the four artists who loved her - and whom she tragically lost, one after the other. Who was the real Alma?

Conductor: Omer Meir Wellber
