Galakonzert zu Nello Santis 85. Geburtstag
Abstract
Galakonzert zu Nello Santis 85. Geburtstag
Nello Santi is one of the most influential conductors of the Italian repertoire at the Opera House Zürich. Since he made his debut almost 60 years ago with Verdi's La forza del destino, he has been loyal to us. Over and over the charismatic, humorous and passionate conductor has stood on the podium of the orchestra and gave the enthusiastic audience unforgettable opera evenings. On the occasion of his 85th birthday Nello Santi will conduct the chorus of the opera house and the Philharmonia Zurich at a festive gala concert. The program includes highlights of the Italian opera repertoire, including overtures by Verdi and Rossini as well as arias by Verdi and Puccini (Soprano: Adriana Marfisi).
After Verdi and Wagner the concert will end with the glorious Fourth Symphony by Pyotr I. Tchaikovsky.
