The MPO and its Principal Conductor Fabio Mechetti usher in the new year with an extravaganza dance concert. Johann Strauss means waltz, and that’s what you’ll hear mixed in among the wonderful tunes that make up the overture to Die Fledermaus, the world’s favourite operetta. There are waltzes too in Der Rosenkavalier, the most famous opera by Richard Strauss (no relation to Johann). In between these opening and closing numbers we hear more dance-inspired music by Sibelius, Tchaikovsky, and Ravel. Come waltz in the new year with unforgettable performances by the MPO!
