To mark the 100th anniversary of Rainer Maria Rilke’s death, the Rodin Museum in Paris is hosting a special event centered on “Rodin According to Rilke.”

A theatrical reading titled “Rainer Maria Rilke—A European Correspondence: Letters and Poems 1897–1926” will be presented, with texts curated and performed by Jean-Paul Schintu, actor and director. Music by Handel, Liszt, Grieg, and Schubert will be performed by pianist Lionel Monnet.
