Vienna festivities Automatic translate

On December 29, on the stage of the Hermitage Theater, the St. Petersburg Concert collective, the St. Petersburg Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Sergei Stadler, will present a brilliant program of the New Year’s program "Celebrations of Vienna".

The concert will focus on German opera culture from Mozart to Richard Strauss. The program will open with fragments of Mozart’s opera "The Abduction from the Seraglio". The composer was in love when he created it, and conveyed this feeling of intoxicating happiness in music. Beethoven’s virtuoso and incredibly emotional concert aria Ah! Perfido and ecstatic, full of joyful anticipation, Elizabeth’s aria from Wagner’s opera Tannhäuser.

Contemporaries called Richard Strauss’s "Der Rosenkavalier" "the last carefree theatrical celebration of Europe" - it is considered the most outstanding German comic opera, which appeared after the masterpieces of Mozart. The concert will feature the finale of the Rose Chevalier.

The program concludes with fragments of Johann Strauss’s Gypsy Baron operetta, which is one of his best performances. There are not many works in world music in which feelings of youth, youthful enthusiasm would be sung with such spontaneity.

The leading soloists of the Petersburg-Concert will take part in the concert: Victoria Rebenko, Ekaterina Shimanovich, Nelya Gafiyatullina, Polina Yashchuk, Elizaveta Rumyantseva, Leonty Salyensky.
