About the Event

An unusual program in which Antonio Pappano, chief conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra, demonstrates two things: his operatic experience and his dramaturgical sensitivity. Vilde Frang interprets Beethoven's violin concerto on a Guarneri from 1734. Sarah Jakubiak and Clay Hilley can be heard in Wagner's “Liebestod” movement from “Tristan und Isolde.” The American heroic tenor has already been acclaimed at the Festspielhaus as the Emperor in Strauss's “Die Frau ohne Schatten” and as Siegfried.

Artists

Orchestra: London Symphony Orchestra
Conductor: Antonio Pappano

Currently Music Director of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, Antonio Pappano is the youngest conductor ever to have been invited to this position. Previously, he has been Music Director of the Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie in Brussels and the Norwegian Opera, and Principal Guest Conductor of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra.

Born in London of Italian parents but living in the United States from the age of 13, Pappano’s work as pianist and assistant conductor rapidly led to his engagement in theatres throughout the world. Most notably, he was assistant to Daniel Barenboim for several productions at the Bayreuth Festival.

Concurrently with his obligations at the Royal Opera House, Antonio Pappano is Music Director of the orchestra of the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia in Rome.

Violin: Vilde Frang
