Der ferne Klang by Austrian composer Franz Schreker (1878–1934) premiered on 18 August 1912 at the Frankfurt Opera House. Schreker began composing his first full-length opera in 1901, after completing the libretto he had written in just a few weeks. Initially considered impossible to perform, the work brought Schreker instant fame. It now returns to the location of its premiere for the first time since 1945. With one exception, Schreker was both composer and librettist for all of his stage works, almost half of which were performed or premiered in Frankfurt.

The Choir of the Oper Frankfurt and Frankfurter Opern- und Museumsorchester perform under the direction of Sebastian Weigle.
