Four stories of faraway lands, opulence, and scandal.
Beethoven’s dramatic and heroic Egmont Overture is well-known and much loved. However, very few listeners know the extensive incidental music that Beethoven also wrote Goethe’s drama Egmont. Gustavo Dudamel gives us the opportunity to hear how vividly the composer depicts the fate of the Dutch prince Egmont in music: his triumphs, his love, his failure. Fate also plays a central role in Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony, symbolised by a relentless motif that runs through the entire work. The composer uses it to mirror his own struggles with himself and the world – passionately, stirringly, movingly.
In our new series Ausklang, you can experience the Berliner Philharmoniker in a condensed form. A single major work is featured, followed by a relaxed get-together in the foyer, including a free drink. This time the conductor is Gustavo Dudamel, famous for his dynamism and charisma. We will hear Peter Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony - music that is full of longing, warmth and radiance, just as it tells of man’s rebellion against his fate. This is a battle fraught with drama, interrupted by an airy waltz in the third movement.

Summer, energy, passion – Gustavo Dudamel and the Berliner Philharmoniker invite you to a Latin American night at the Waldbühne. The Venezuelan conductor performed at this venue back in 2008 under the motto Los ritmos de la noche. It was his debut with the Berliner Philharmoniker, and was met with great acclaim by the audience. Dudamel now celebrates the end of the season with the orchestra in the open air for the fourth time. The programme will include rousing dances from Bernstein’s musical West Side Story, in which Latin American sounds and rhythms are all-pervasive.
