50th Anniversary Gala Concert

Bryanston School

Today’s programme begins with the overture to Otto Nicolai's The Merry Wives of Windsor, based on Shakespeare’s comedy of the same name. Masquerades and mischief-makers steal the show, duplicitous suitors fall foul of plotting friends, and a late-night wedding celebration rounds off the madness under a gleaming full moon.

It couldn't be more Christmassy! The anticipation of the upcoming holidays is audible in this concert full of Christmas tunes, sleigh rides, and Christmas wishes. The focus is on the music for Erich Wolfgang Korngold's fairytale ballet "The Snowman": Colombine and her admirer Pierrot attempt to escape from the clutches of Uncle Pantaloon – and succeed with the help of a snowman. The story is narrated. Finally, things get particularly festive with Otto Nicolai's Christmas Overture, featuring ever-changing variations of the chorale "Vom Himmel hoch."
