Concertgebouworkest & Renée Fleming: Strauss' Vier letzte Lieder

Thu, Feb 27, 2025, 20:15
Concertgebouw Orchestra, Manfred Honeck (Conductor), Renée Fleming (Soprano)
At the end of his long career, Richard Strauss composed the Vier letzte Lieder, a musical embrace in which calm and acceptance prevail. And what better interpreter of such calm after the storm than Renée Fleming, whose warm voice and vocal mastery every listener should be lucky enough to hear live?Over twenty years since his Concertgebouw Orchestra debut, Manfred Honeck has long enjoyed a reputation as one of the world’s leading conductors. In addition to Strauss’s Vier letzte Lieder, the Austrian conductor leads the orchestra in a self-arranged suite of highlights from Puccini’s last opera, Turandot. The music enveloping this cruel tale, sometimes highly lyrical, then exciting and exuberant, is beautifully expressed in an instrumental suite. The concert opens with Franz von Suppé’s Overture 'Dichter und Bauer', and after the interval the orchestra will perform the Scottish composer James MacMillan’s moving Larghetto.

Laeiszhalle, Kleiner Saal (Hamburg)
Andreas Neumann (Comedian)
Parodist Andreas Neumann is a master at bringing popular comedians, humourists and film stars of the economic miracle years back to life. The press describes him as »the best Heinz Erhardt since Heinz Erhardt« and even Grit Berthold, daughter of Heinz Erhardt, acknowledges, »When I heard Andreas Neumann, I thought my father was alive again.« In addition to Heinz Erhardt, Neumann parodies other personalities such as Heinz Rühmann, Theo Lingen and Marcel Reich-Ranicki. Neumann fans also get their money’s worth: because the programme always includes newly written texts. Extensive laughter is virtually guaranteed for everyone!
