Long live freedom! In 1848, when Albert Lortzing wrote his impressive last opera "Regina", was a revolution. And that is exactly what the work, which Lortzing named after his wife, is about: Two politically active factory workers love Regina, the daughter of the factory owner Simon. But they belong to different camps. One of them, Stephan, is a radical rebel who occupies the factory and holds Regina in his power. However, she is engaged to the more peace-loving Richard. In the end, all their lives and the awakening harmony lie in Regina's hands. Lortzing's revolutionary opera was kept under lock and key and censored for a long time. Perhaps its time has now come once again: Time for peace and freedom.

Mendelssohn’s final concerto ranks among the top violin concertos of all time, impeccably bridging Classical and Romantic styles. Violinist Maria Ioudenitch breathes new life into this perennial favourite. Bruckner’s symphonies are often called “Cathedrals of Sound” and his fantastic fifth is no exception, culminating one of the most triumphant finales ever composed. German conductor Constantin Trinks leads us on a spiritual journey of mystery and grandeur.

Die Entführung aus dem Serail

Vienna State Opera

Deeply moved by Oscar Wilde’s play, Richard Strauss changed the course of music history with his intense, frantic eponymous opera. The set is King Herod’s Palace; young Salome is infatuated and rejected by Prophet Jochanaan, and, desperate to kiss him at all costs, subsequently asks for his severed head. The expressionist libretto drawn from this mysterious plot is both sensuous and dramatic. As an object – and mostly a subject – of desire, Salome’s magnetic quality is gradually unveiled. The piece, written at the turn of the 20th century, reads like a discovery of the subconscious mind or an exploration of urges. The hypnotic score is replete with unique colours and sounds; Strauss pushed the very limits of music in his time, at the risk of breaking the norms. The lead must be sung by a mesmerising performer, both in terms of voice and presence.

The beautiful Arabella doesn't want to make a commitment until she meets the right man, "who will one day stand before her".
