Program
For the first time this year's concert will be conducted by Maestro Tugan Sokhiev and features as vocal soloist the opera singer Piotr Beczała, who will perform three arias – from Georges Bizet's Carmen, Giacomo Puccini's Turandot and Emmerich Kálmán's operetta Gräfin Mariza. For the first time, the Vienna Boys Choir will participate in the Summer Night Concert.
The concept of presenting classical music to the widest possible audience as a gift to music enthusiasts everywhere has characterized this event since its inception. The focus of this year's program is on well-known melodies from opera and operetta that lead us on a musical journey through various European landscapes und milieus. This year we dedicate Otto Nicolai's Ouverture to the Opera "The Merry Wives of Windsor" to the 25th anniversary of Vienna's Haus der Musik. There, in the former residence of our orchestra's founder, Otto Nicolai, the Museum of the Vienna Philharmonic and the Historical Archives of the Vienna Philharmonic were relocated in the year 2000. Since that time, we have enjoyed a close and important partnership with the Haus der Musik.
