Auckland Philharmonia have announced the lineup for their new season in 2025 and it’s an exciting mix of artists and composers, packed full of familiar favourites and new voices to explore.
Love Stories, conducted by Antony Hermus, features the works of Glinka (Russlan & Ludmilla: Overture, Tchaikovsky (Romeo & Juliet Fantasy-Overture) and Wagner (arr. Henk de Vlieger) (Die Meistersinger – An Orchestral Tribute)
In this concert featuring three timeless tales of love, Glinka’s thrilling overture precedes an opera about two lovers kept apart by sorcery and magic but reunited in the end.
Romeo and Juliet, of course, are united only in death, and Tchaikovsky’s evocative musical retelling plumbs every depth of the tragedy. A suite based on his famous Die Meistersinger deftly presents the musical highlights of Wagner’s playful comedy following young knight Walther’s pursuit of the lovely Eva.
