Lisa Batiashvili's expressive elegance is put to full use in one of the gems of the Mozartean repertoire, which precedes the orchestral odyssey of Mahler's Symphony No.5 beset with the themes of torment, struggle and ecstasy.

Klaus Mäkelä lets loose on a program of changing colours, from modernism to impressionism. As a bonus, Gustavo Dudamel takes the podium to conduct one of Beethoven's most brilliant pieces!
Vocal and orchestral colours are the order of the day in this contrasting program where the shine of the brass contrasts with the impressionist moire, with the added bonus of Poulenc's smiling spirituality and Mussorgsky’s irresistible pictures!
Embark for the banks of the Danube. The evening starts with the voice of Sabine Devieilhe evoking the balls of imperial Vienna. But love later takes a darker turn with Pelleas und Melisande, one of the most accomplished scores by the young Schönberg.

A deeply moving production in which Romeo Castellucci conjures up an excavation simultaneously macabre and contemplative where, as if from a pit – that of the dead, that of the orchestra – Mahler's restless metaphysics, grippingly embodied, emerge.

The relationship between Europe and the United States is at the heart of this program, where the attachment to the traditions of the “Old World” finds its counterpoint in the most famous of Dvořák’s symphonies, a veritable link between the two continents.
