The Velvet Revolution Concert resounds with spiritual strength and hope. In his Resurrection Symphony, Gustav Mahler traces a journey from the darkness of death towards faith in light and renewal. This monumental work, uniting emotion with philosophical depth, reflects the soul’s struggle for meaning and hope. The Czech Philharmonic and the Prague Philharmonic Choir will be conducted by the Finnish maestro Sakari Oramo, stepping in for Zubin Mehta.

Klaus Mäkelä unites the Concertgebouworkest, eight vocal soloists and four choirs in Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 8. An impressive work by a huge cast.

For the first time, Gustavo Dudamel conducts the return of this remarkable production of Wagner’s Tristan and Isolde, directed by Peter Sellars with video by Bill Viola, one of America’s leading visual artists. When the Tristan Project was first performed in 2004, The New York Times hailed it as “a multimedia conception that promised to be so ingenious that listeners traveled long distances to catch it and talked about it for months.” Matching Wagner’s 19th-century desire to expand what opera could be with 21st-century innovation, Viola’s and Sellars’ staging explores the psychological, spiritual, and elemental subtext of the story. This rare opportunity to see the Tristan Project features a globally celebrated cast, headlined by Michael Weinius and Miina-Liisa Värelä.
