Singer

Haydn was a superstar in his time – celebrated throughout Europe as one of the greatest figures on the music scene. He had Mozart as a student and discovered Beethoven. He composed more than 100 symphonies and is known as the “father” of the string quartet. Joseph Haydn is one of the undisputed greatest figures in European music history. Come and experience why when we give Haydn the attention he deserves!

Haydn Festival

The Conservatory Concert Hall

With some pieces, you really need to feel the floor shake. Experience Janáček’s jubilant Sinfonietta, as 14 trumpets line up across the stage and Janáček’s salute to his hometown of Brno goes supernova in a blaze of glory. It takes a lot to follow Bartók’s Cantata Profana and Ravel’s astonishing Piano Concerto for the Left Hand - but if anyone can do it, it’s Janáček.

Barbican Centre

Politics and the private sphere collide fatally in Verdi's opera Simon Boccanegra: The title character, elected Doge of Genoa by the people, pays with his life for the bitter game of love and power. Thanks in part to his librettist, Arrigo Boito, Verdi succeeded in revising the work in 1881 in creating a predominantly somber yet highly fascinating tableau of light and shadow. Boccanegra's desperate cry for peace, echoing the words of the poet Petrarch, becomes a timeless plea – and the shimmering sea, captured by the orchestra, becomes a symbol of hope.
