Conductor Antony Hermus
Glinka Russlan & Ludmilla: Overture
Tchaikovsky Romeo & Juliet Fantasy-Overture
Wagner (arr. Henk de Vlieger) Die Meistersinger – An Orchestral Tribute
Est. running time one hour and 30 minutes including a 20-minute interval
In this concert featuring three timeless tales of love, Glinka’s thrilling overture precedes an opera about two lovers kept apart by sorcery and magic but reunited in the end.
Romeo and Juliet, of course, are united only in death, and Tchaikovsky’s evocative musical retelling plumbs every depth of the tragedy. A suite based on his famous Die Meistersinger deftly presents the musical highlights of Wagner’s playful comedy following young knight Walther’s pursuit of the lovely Eva.
