Vienna Symphony Orchestra Celebrates 125th Anniversary with Spring Concert in Trieste

The spring concert in Trieste is also intended to mark the start of a spring festival of the same name, which the Symphony Orchestra plans to hold annually in Trieste under the same title. The Vienna Symphony Orchestra and the Politeama Rossetti Theater share a long tradition. In the 125-year history of the orchestra, nine concerts have been held in Trieste so far.

Back to the Origin: Stage with Vienna Symphony Tradition and International Top Voices

Chief conductor Petr Popelka will lead the three concerts on the same stage where the Vienna Symphony Orchestra performed for the first time in an Italian city in 1902, which at that time still belonged to the Habsburg Empire. Internationally renowned soloists such as bass Georg Zeppenfeld, sopranos Sarah Wegener and Julia Kleiter, and tenor Michael Spyres will perform.

On April 11, the first evening, excerpts from Verdi's operas "Macbeth", "Aida", and "Don Carlo" will be juxtaposed with the first act of Richard Wagner's "Walküre". The following day, Mozart's "Prague Symphony" and Mahler's "Fourth" with soprano Julia Kleiter will be heard. On the last evening (April 13), alongside polkas and waltzes by Johann Strauss II, works by Puccini, Tchaikovsky, and Franz Schmidt will also be on the program.
