Stiffelio
Love, betrayal, death, and forgiveness – Verdi's "Stiffelio" is full of drama. Too much for the censors, who banned the first version before its 1850 premiere. The original scores, believed lost, were rediscovered in Naples over 100 years later. Audiences can expect an exciting encounter with a rarely performed early work.

Rocking Classics
Rock ist mehr als nur ein Musikgenre – das Lebensgefühl ganzer Generationen konserviert sich zwischen harten Riffs und rauem Gesang. Wenn sich zu Schlagzeug, Bass und Gitarre dann auch noch Streicher und Bläser mischen, ist eine energiegeladene Rockparty garantiert. Das WDR Funkhausorchester spielt Klassiker der Musikgeschichte von den Rolling Stones bis Queen, von Metallica bis AC/DC – und beweist: Auch ein Orchester kann so richtig abrocken! Unterstützt werden die Musikerinnen und Musiker von Sänger Alex Melcher – der in Hauptrollen etwa in "We Will Rock You" oder "Jesus Christ Superstar" seit vielen Jahren seine ganz große Rock-Stimme unter Beweis stellt.
