Conductor Christoph von Dohnanyi to Make Australian Debut at Sydney Opera House

One of the world's most esteemed and distinguished conductors, Christoph von Dohnányi, will make his long-awaited Australian debut at the Sydney Opera House with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra next month.

The 86-year old German maestro, known for his pioneering work with the Cleveland Orchestra and Philharmonia Orchestra in London, will visit Australia for the very first time to conduct two programs dedicated to the late romantic German repertoire for which he is renowned.

According to SSO Director of Artistic Planning Benjamin Schwartz, these concerts present a uniquely exciting opportunity for Sydney audiences to see one of the world's greatest living conductors perform at the Sydney Opera House with Australia's flagship orchestra.

"The SSO is absolutely thrilled to welcome Christoph von Dohnányi to Sydney for his debut performances in Australia," Schwartz says. "Maestro von Dohnányi's attention to detail, unerring sense of style and pacing, and deeply informed musicianship have for decades served as virtual guarantors of inspiring concerts from the greatest orchestras around the world."
