It has been a long time since the Auditorium-Orchestre National de Lyon last headed towards Vienna for the end of year concerts. We are now making up for it! Young singers familiar with this repertoire will come together to sing large excerpts from Die Fledermaus. The Orchestra will, of course, also be playing some of the loveliest waltzes and polkas from this repertoire! Of the 15 operettas written by Johann Strauss II, Die Fledermaus is the only one which has always remained popular. A brilliant overture, virtuoso and languorous arias, racy ensembles… Waltzes, polkas, Hungarian csárdás, the music of the King of the waltz is a constant delight. The concert will be conducted by the young Viennese conductor Sascha Goetzel, formerly a musician with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.
