Venue

Kulturpalast Dresden, Konzertsaal (Dresden)

Today, the Dresden Philharmonic Orchestra is really going to make some noise. Centuries ago, during big celebrations, a proper fireworks display was set off. This was also the case in April 1749, when the British King George II, who hailed from Hanover, organized a grand peace festival.

phil to discover - with the Rosenkavalier

Sun, Dec 8, 2024, 11:00

Kulturpalast Dresden, Konzertsaal (Dresden)

Kerem Hasan (Conductor), Malte Arkona (Presenter), Victoria Esper (Voice of Phili), Michael Kube (Concept), Dresdner Philharmonie

A silver rose and a lot of enthusiasm. This music blossoms with grand gestures and exudes the delightful freshness of summer and the splendor of the Viennese waltz in the cold season. Almost 114 years ago, "Der Rosenkavalier" had its premiere in Dresden – today we embark on a journey of discovery through the orchestra: How did Richard Strauss manage to create such enchanting sounds? Meanwhile, Phili is searching for the "Woman without a Shadow" – and finds music that is full of images and great moments. The Dresden Philharmonic is performing on this day with a very large ensemble of almost 100 musicians. It could be an unforgettable musical experience.
