Opera in Roma & Orchestra Sinfonica Città di Roma Present: Mozart & Tchaikovsky at St. Paul's Within the Walls (Chiesa di S. Paolo entro le Mura)

About the Event

Composed in 1783 in just four days during a stopover in Linz, Symphony No. 36 is a masterpiece of Classical elegance and brilliant spontaneity. It is notable for being Mozart's first symphony to open with a solemn, mysterious Adagio introduction, which quickly gives way to an atmosphere of vibrant energy and melodic fluidity. The work shines through its flawless formal architecture, the balanced dialogue among instruments, and a lively spirit typical of the Enlightenment.

Composed in 1888, Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony is a monumental musical drama centered on the struggle against Fate. This theme is represented by a recurring motif that weaves through all four movements, transforming from initial melancholic darkness into an almost liberating triumph in the finale. Characterized by lush orchestration and the second movement's famous, deeply intense horn solo, the symphony sweeps the listener away with raw, overwhelming emotional power.
