In Germany, the popular concert is broadcast on 3Sat, and in Austria on ORF. in 2023, the Latvian mezzo-soprano Elina Garanu010Da will be the star soloist for the first time, and for the first time Yannick Nézet-Séguin will be at the podium of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, which will whisk listeners away to France with a varied program this year: The concert will open with two classics by Georges Bizet: the orchestral Suite No. 1 with themes from his famous opera “Carmen” and with the famous “Habanera” aria from “Carmen,” sung by Elina Garanu010Da. The piece “D’un matin de printemps” by the French composer Lili Boulanger, the first female winner of the prestigious “Prix de Rome” of the Paris Conservatoire, who died tragically at the age of only 24, yet left behind 50 works, is about a spring morning. The Vienna Philharmonic will perform Hector Berlioz’s overture “Le Corsaire” and Maurice Ravel’s Suite No. 1 from “Daphnis and Chloe” as well as the famous “Bolero” as the concert’s crowning finale. Elina Garanu010Da presents as star soloist three arias from Georges Bizet’s “Carmen”, from Charles Gounod’s “Sapho” and from Camille Saint-Saëns’ “Samson et Dalila”. The concert is released by Sony Classical on CD, as a digital album, and also on DVD and Blu-ray, which reproduce the atmospheric staging in the festively illuminated park of Schönbrunn Palace particularly well. French music is on the program of the magnificent summer night concert of the Vienna Philharmonic from Schönbrunn Palace, for the first time with Yannick Nézet-Séguin on the podium and with Elīna Garanča as vocal soloist |
