concerts of the 2020-21 season
First “Wednesdays at half past seven” concert
“Dein ist mein ganzes herz”
Franz Lehár – a life for operetta
Wednesday, 21 October 2020, 7:30 pm
Prinzregententheater, Munich
“I did not enter this world in order to enjoy life, but to bring joy to other people.” And that is exactly what Franz Lehár did. With wit and waltzes, amorous adventures and immortal melodies, his operettas have continued to excite listeners on the world’s stages to the present day. An evening of his famous classics and little-known gems is a declaration of love to the audience!
Prices: 18 – 45 € (depending on the category).
Second “Wednesdays at half past seven” concert
Franz Schubert
A musical biography with Udo Wachtveitl
Wednesday, 2 December 2020, 7:30 pm
Prinzregententheater, Munich
“Beloved art, in how many a bleak hour […] have you kindled my heart to the warmth of love.” Schubert’s brief life unfolded in a veil of melancholy, but also with joie de vivre and tireless creativity among his circle of musical friends. The young Viennese musician also sought in vain to establish himself as an opera composer. This concert is a tribute to Franz Schubert that fetches him from the middle-class parlour and places him on the great stage: rarely heard and often unfinished theatre sores, together with several of his most famous songs, paint a larger, fully rounded portrait of a composer who never stood in the limelight.
Prices: 18 – 45 € (depending on the category).
Third “Wednesdays at half past seven” concert
Notte italiana
with opera star Krassimira Stoyanova
Wednesday, 10 February 2021, 7:30 pm
Prinzregententheater, Munich
A Mediterranean summer night in mid-February: the Munich Radio Orchestra makes it possible! An indispensable ingredient of this Notte Italiana is a selection of arias full of feeling and passion, ranging from richly textured scenes from Verdi to grandiose opera tunes familiar from advertisements, movies or your favourite CD. The joy of recognition is guaranteed! Exhilarating overtures and orchestral interludes are a must, of course, as is Tchaikovsky’s Capriccio italien, a brilliant orchestral study written while the composer was staying in Rome.
Prices: 18 – 45 € (depending on the category).
Fourth “Wednesdays at half past seven” concert
Le Grand Tango
Homage to Astor Piazzolla
Wednesday, 5 May 2021, 7:30 pm
Prinzregententheater, Munich
“Your tango is new, and it is honest”: thus Nadia Boulanger’s assessment of her strange scholarship student Astor Piazzolla (1921–1992). Indeed, he is the founding father of Tango Nuevo, a species of tango that combines dance and art music, tradition and avant-garde, rising from the shadowy dives of Buenos Aires into the bright glare of the world’s concert halls. Tango Nuevo is ballet music, tango-opera, concerto and musical experiment at the highest level. Whether noble and restrained or explosive and volcanic, it is pure emotion in notes.
Prices: 18 – 45 € (depending on the category).
