The \u201cViennese Gala\u201d National Tour will return to Romania this winter, bringing together on the same stage musicians from the renowned Orchestra di Teatro D\u2019Opera Italiana and the Vox Opera for a series of Christmas Concerts, according to a press release from the organizers.<\/p>\n
The two orchestras are famous throughout Europe, and their collaboration brings to the stage artists who have performed alongside great names of world opera at the Verona Arena, La Scala Theatre in Milan, or the Vienna State Opera.<\/p>\n
The musical direction is entrusted to the young conductor and soloist Bogdan Costache. Appreciated for his effervescence and dynamism, he will conduct \u201cwith the violin in his hand,\u201d keeping alive the tradition established by Johann Strauss and revived in the modern era by Andr\u00e9 Rieu.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s program proposes pieces presented for the first time nationally, emblematic works by the Strauss dynasty, Franz Leh\u00e1r and Emmerich K\u00e1lm\u00e1n, as well as rediscovered classic Romanian creations. The moments dedicated to the winter holidays will be completed by traditional carols performed by the Vox Opera Choir.<\/p>\n
The stage picture will be completed by the Vox Opera Ballet Ensemble, under the choreographic direction of Vlad Sebastian, with dynamic moments of waltz, polka and can-can, culminating in the traditional invitation to dance: \u201cAlles Walzer!\u201d<\/p>\n
In line with the organizers\u2019 mission to promote the country\u2019s young musicians, this year\u2019s edition will bring into the spotlight the very young guitarist Gabriel Popescu, winner of numerous national and international competitions, alongside his professor and mentor, M\u0103d\u0103lin Antonesei.<\/p>\n
