Orchestral concerts

You can experience opera on a grand scale not only at the lake stage but also at a concert. The Wiener Symphoniker will again perform part of Richard Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen. Conductor Karina Canellakis reprises her famed 2018 renditions in a passionate rendering of the love story between Brünnhilde and Siegfried with international soloists. Rigoletto conductor Enrique Mazzola complements the summer opera programme: The emperor Nero is hailed under dark skies in Ottorino Respighi's sublime Römische Feste (Roman Festivals), preceded by a piece by Slovakian composer Ľubica Čekovská, a one-off evoking a completly different mood as an orchestral work. The Wiener Symphoniker's principal conductor bids farewell with works by Beethoven and Richard Strauss; the new director of the Symphony Orchestra Vorarlberg presents himself with four soloists in Haydn's enchanting Sinfonia concerante and new symphony by Thomas Larcher, whose opera Das Jagdgewehr (The Hunting Gun) captivated audiences in 2018.
