About the Event
An evening at Auditorium di Milano Fondazione Cariplo invites travelers into three distinct worlds of orchestral music. The program begins with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s sparkling Overture to Le Nozze di Figaro, blending elegance, wit, and theatrical energy. Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy’s Violin Concerto in E minor follows, pairing lyrical warmth with dazzling virtuosity. The concert closes with Carl Nielsen’s Symphony No. 2, op. 16, The Four Temperaments, a vivid, psychologically charged work inspired by the ancient choleric, phlegmatic, melancholic, and sanguine personalities. Together, these works offer an engaging portrait of European musical imagination, making the evening an appealing choice for culture‐minded visitors discovering Milan. Within the welcoming Auditorium di Milano Fondazione Cariplo, the performance creates an atmospheric experience beyond the city’s museums and fashion districts.

Making its home in Milan's Auditorio, La Verdi features among Europe's most respected and admired symphonic ensembles. Its first Musical Director, Ricardo Chailly, now holds the title of Conductor Laureate, while the Austrian conductor, Emmanuel Tjeknavorian, a fast‐rising star in the orchestral firmament took over the role of Musical Director in 2024, following in the footsteps of several major names in the classical world. La Verdi welcomes a starry roster of soloists and guest conductors over the course of an extensive and varied annual season, and regularly features as guests of honour at important state occasions and international concert engagements. |
