Description:

The "Vienna Philharmonic Summer Night Concert," an open-air concert held at Schönbrunn Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the Vienna Philharmonic's most famous events along with the New Year's Concert. This year, to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, the concert was moved from June to September, and the number of spectators was limited. This year's theme was "love," and the program included R. Strauss's "Der Rosenkavalier," Wagner's "Tristan und Isolde," Mendelssohn's "A Midsummer Night's Dream," and a suite from the film "Doctor Zhivago" by Maurice Jarre. Each piece is sure to be a rich lyrical contrast between the brilliant Vienna Philharmonic's sound and the individualistic interpretation of Walery Gergiev, and the music is sure to be a delight to listen to. The guest is tenor star Jonas Kaufmann, who performs his favorite Urtel and Karaf arias, as well as one operetta aria! Imported version with Japanese commentary.
