When Kent Nagano assumed the direction of the Bavarian State Opera in Munich in autumn 2006, he had intended a new production of Richard Strauss' Salome as one of the first premieres. He wanted to precede the challenging one-act opera after Oscar Wilde's drama with a new music theatre work. He turned to Wolfgang Rihm. 'I replied', Rihm said in an interview with Die Zeit: 'There's only one thing: the final scene from Schlusschor by Botho Strauß. Nagano's commission became the catalyst in transforming this desire into reality. This is the genesis of Das Gehege. A nocturnal scene for soprano and orchestra. Kent Nagano and Jean-Pascal Beintus (* 1966) met in the orchestra pit of the Opéra de Lyon in 1988. After considering the first orchestral manuscripts, the maestro, known for his openness and great erudition, encouraged the young man to expand his musical career. Several pictorial projects came to Nagano's mind, which he entrusted to Beintus' musical imagination: first, Wolf Tracks for recitator and orchestra (recorded with the speakers Bill Clinton and Michail Gorbachov), for which Beintus was awarded a Grammy in 2004, before in 2008 writing for the family concerts of the German Symphony Orchestra in Berlin a suite on Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's omnipresent The Little Prince.
