Fabio Luisi was General Music Director of the Opernhaus Zürich for nine years and had a decisive influence on the musical tone of the house. His Verdi interpretations, his cycle of operas by Vincenzo Bellini and his forays through the symphonic-romantic repertoire in the Philharmonic concerts are unforgettable. Now Luisi is giving his farewell concert on the podium of the Philharmonia Zurich. 

We are also streaming this concert live from the Opernhaus Zürich as a tribute to our outgoing General Music Director and thus want to give all those who cannot be present at the Opera House the opportunity to experience the musical farewell of this great conductor.
