End-of-year concert with Kirill Petrenko and Jonas Kaufmann
To ring out the old year, the Berliner Philharmoniker and chief conductor Kirill Petrenko present a thrilling Russian-Italian programme with tenor Jonas Kaufmann as special guest. A resonant lower range, radiant high notes, intelligent interpretation – all of that makes him one of the world’s leading singers. The other works on the programme include famous Italian opera overtures, Peter Tchaikovsky’s sumptuous Capriccio Italien and the most popular numbers from Sergei Prokofiev’s ballet Romeo and Juliet, with its combination of brilliance and striking expressiveness.
