2. Lucia of Lammermoor
Scotland in the 17th century: Lucia Ashton loves Edgardo from the rival Ravenswood family. After a change of power, her brother Enrico finds himself on the wrong side: only Lucia's marriage to the noble Arturo can save him from losing his power and his life. The wedding is carried out under duress. But the party is faced with a horrific scene when Lucia emerges from the bridal chamber covered in blood: she has stabbed her husband.

3. Carmen
A sudden desire throws Sergeant Don José off his usual path. A woman who suddenly throws a flower at his feet gives him access to a world that he had previously closed himself off from. The woman is called Carmen and she is a social outsider. What she wants, she takes; when she loves, she loves with every fiber of her being. Carmen and José meet each other by chance, or perhaps by misunderstanding.

4. 9th Symphony Concert
Those who seek authenticity when travelling can easily be misled: Richard Strauss was one of them when he thought he had heard an original Neapolitan folk song in Naples and incorporated it into his symphonic fantasy "Aus Italien". In fact, "Funiculì, funiculà" had been composed by Luigi Denza just a few years earlier, and in a less than popular context at that - as an advertisement for the new cable car up Vesuvius. Strauss' trip to Italy nevertheless represented a turning point in his work: "Aus Italien" brilliantly opens the series of tone poems with which he became famous.

5. Youth concert for the 9th Symphony concert
The conductor and composer Anna Skryleva begins the youth concert with one of her own compositions and will give the young listeners an insight into the creation of a composition. Richard Strauss was inspired by a journey in his first tone poem. His music first takes the audience to Campania, describes the dignified ruins of the Eternal City of Rome, takes a short break on the beach in Sorrento and finally ends in the lively city life of Naples.
