    Info

    Love’s pain meets exuberance – our New Year’s Eve programme is an emotional rollercoaster. Benjamin Bernheim, one of today’s leading lyric tenors, brings us the love-sick anguish of famous operatic heroes: Don José from Bizet’s Carmen, Lenski from Tchaikovsky’s Eugene Onegin, Massenet’s Werther, and Gounod’s Romeo. The tragic story of Romeo and Juliet is also told in Tchaikovsky’s eponymous Fantasy Overture. With lively music by Bizet, Chabrier, and Gershwin, Kirill Petrenko and the Berliner Philharmoniker also take us to the sun: to southern France, Spain, and Cuba.
