Wagner / Dutilleux / Stravinskij / Van Steen: Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano
Milan, Auditorium di Milano Fondazione Cariplo — main
About the Event
The Russian folk tale of Petrushka, a puppet animated by a breath of vitality and emotions, intertwines with Wagner's Siegfried and L'arbre des songes (The Tree of Dreams), Henri Dutilleux's Concerto for Violin and Orchestra dedicated to Isaac Stern, and performed by the talented Swiss violinist Sebastian Bohren. Dutilleux's 1985 concerto merges the soloist more closely with the orchestral environment, while Wagner's Waldweben evokes the enchanting forest where Siegfried takes refuge in the opera's second act. Jac van Steen's profound experience will guide the audience through this dreamlike journey.

| Orchestra: | Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano Giuseppe Verdi Known colloquially as 'La Verdi', Milan's famed symphony orchestra was formed in the early 90s to supplement the city's already‐generous cultural offering. 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. |
