Begin your evening with sensational live music, performed in the majestic setting of the Auckland Town Hall, the Six-thirty Session is back for 2026!
French conductor Pierre Bleuse returns to Auckland for a music programme packed with passion.
The Prelude and Liebestod from Wagner’s opera Tristan und Isolde, is about desire beyond reason, charting the doomed love story that can only end in tragedy.
Passion is precisely the word for Tchaikovsky’s hyper-emotional Fourth Symphony and indeed for Tchaikovsky himself. Shattering, restless fanfares herald music of a soul in torment, but a hard-won affirmation of life ultimately triumphs.
With a 6.30PM start time and a compact concert format, this concert is perfectly timed so you can enjoy an incredible performance by Auckland’s professional orchestra after work and still make it to an 8PM dinner reservation in the city centre.
