Italian Night – Gala Concert “From Italy to the World” at the Friedenskirche in Potsdam‐Sanssouci
Potsdam, Friedenskirche Potsdam‐Sanssouci
About the Event
Italy is synonymous with passion, beauty, and a distinctive musical way of life. For centuries, the country has captivated and inspired composers and musicians from all over the world.
The DRESDNER RESIDENZ ORCHESTER invites you on a musical journey through Italy—from Venetian elegance to southern temperament to the great melodies of Italian opera.
Barcarolles, sicilianos, virtuosic orchestral works, and well‐known opera melodies come together to create a diverse gala concert brimming with Italian flair.
The focus is not only on the composers’ origins but also on their special connection to Italy. Music that originated in Italy, was inspired by Italy, or made its way from there out into the world.
From Italy out into the world—and from the world back to Italy.
The DRESDNER RESIDENZ ORCHESTER has been performing for many years in renowned concert halls and churches throughout Germany, delighting its audiences with diverse programs of great classical works.
Following its debut in September 2026, the ensemble is delighted to once again be a guest at the Friedenskirche Potsdam‐Sanssouci.
The Friedenskirche in Potsdam‐Sanssouci impresses with its Italian‐inspired architecture, its delicate bell tower, and its idyllic location on the Friedensteich in Sanssouci Park.
The atmospherically designed interior and the excellent acoustics make it a special venue for concerts.
