About the Concert

Tickets for this event will be available from 12.06.2024 from 10 am.

"Time is a strange thing" is perhaps the most famous line from the opera "Der Rosenkavalier" by Richard Strauss. Perhaps because it is true and we all reflect on the mysterious passing of time from time to time. This concert, in which excerpts from this opera and from "Die Frau ohne Schatten" are on the programme, is a good opportunity to do just that. Mozart was certainly ahead of his time when he wrote his famous Symphony K. 201. With it, he freed himself from his "superfather" Joseph Haydn and found his own ingenious style. His 26th piano concerto, on the other hand, puts us in a festive mood; it is also called the "Coronation Concerto" and was intended to put the audience in an upbeat mood for the coronation of Leopold II in 1789.
