The music of Strauss will come alive in a luxurious program featuring rare arias, waltzes, and suites. The Cappella Orchestra, outstanding soloists, and a charismatic maestro will create a truly festive atmosphere. The concert "The Life of an Artist: Johann Strauss II" at the Cappella in St. Petersburg will be a bright start to the subscription "Horizons of Musical Classics." The program is dedicated to the 200th anniversary of the great composer and will unite masterpieces of Viennese operetta, orchestral waltzes, arias, and unique symphonic interpretations. Listeners can expect a rich musical journey through the pages of Johann Strauss II's life - from world-famous "hits" to rarely performed compositions. Excerpts from the operettas "Die Fledermaus," "Der Zigeunerbaron," "Eine Nacht in Venedig," "Wiener Blut," and "Simplicius" will be performed. The program includes vocal numbers performed by Natalia Savchenko (soprano) and Maxim Katirev (baritone), as well as instrumental works, including "Straussian" by Erich Wolfgang Korngold and the suite from the ballet "Die Fledermaus" by Pavel Tursunov. Special attention will be paid to the "Russian trace" in Strauss's biography - from the Pavlovsk concerts to musical images inspired by St. Petersburg. Waltzes, polkas, and marches created based on Russian motifs will reveal the personal and creative connections of the composer with Russia. Find other events in St. Petersburg on KudaGo.
