VIENNESE ROYALTY - EXTRAORDINARY CHRISTMAS CONCERT

December 23, 2024, 7:00 PM

Student House of Culture, Cluj Napoca

INSTRUMENTALISTS FROM TWO FAMOUS ORCHESTRAS IN EUROPE

ORCHESTRA DI TEATRO D’OPERA ITALIANA, one of the most famous orchestras in Europe, has been applauded on major opera stages and philharmonics worldwide. It's enough to mention a few traditional scenes: Brucknerhaus Linz (Linz Philharmonic), Bregenz Festspielhaus (Bregenz Philharmonic), Brunnenhof der Residenz Munchen (Munich Imperial Palace), Hofburg Palace Vienna, Vienna Stadthalle, Meistersingershalle Nurnberg, Kasemattenbuehne Graz, etc.

The recognition of the orchestra is also reflected in collaborations with big names in world lyricism, soloists, and conductors from the Arena in Verona, La Scala Theater in Milan, Rome Opera Theater, Vienna State Opera, etc.

Members of the Orchestra di Teatro D’opera Italiana are joined by instrumental artists from the ORCHESTRA OPEREI VOX, known and appreciated nationally and internationally. It is a new concept in Romania where instrumental artists from two top European orchestras come together to offer memorable evenings and unique musical experiences.

Furthermore, these two orchestras were invited this year as the official orchestras at the largest opera festival in Asia, the “Borneo Opera Festival,” by the Malaysian government.

ROMANIAN CONDUCTOR WITH INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION AND SOLO VIOLINIST INVITED ON ALL MAJOR STAGES WORLDWIDE

The musical direction of the show will be ensured by the young conductor and solo violinist BOGDAN COSTACHE, and thus, the invited soloists and instrumentalists from Vienna, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, will perform under the baton of one of the most talented orchestra leaders of the young generation, born in Romania! The presence of BOGDAN COSTACHE in this year's VIENNESE ROYALTY program is due to you, the audience, who adore him so much  and have shown to be impressed by his performance, wishing to see him again as soon as possible. Thus, the show will be interactive, conducted“with the violin in hand” following in the footsteps of JOHANN STRAUSS or, more recently, ANDRE RIEU.

  As in the show "Three Italian Tenors" where you enjoyed the beautiful pieces played on the violin by BOGDAN COSTACHE, in the VIENNESE ROYALTY, we have prepared many solo surprises interpreted on the violin, alongside the orchestra, by BOGDAN!

THE SPECTACLE WILL BE COMPLETED BY THE OPERA VOX CHOIR AND BALLET

The members of the orchestra are joined by the OPERA VOX BALLET ENSEMBLE with the most awaited moments of waltzes, polkas, can-can, in a lively choreography that will entice you to dance with our own orchestras and ballet dancers, with the famous “Alles Walzer!”

Beautiful Christmas Carols and Songs will shine through the voices of the OPERA VOX CHOIR. Additionally, this year you will enjoy our traditional Romanian carols.

The Viennese atmosphere and spirit will captivate you from the moment you enter the concert hall and will stay with you as a vivid memory for Christmas and New Year to follow. If you can't attend the Christmas and New Year's concerts in Vienna, we bring the Viennese spirit to your city with the most beautiful Viennese musical masterpieces by the Strauss dynasty, Franz Lehar, Emmerich Kalman, and many, many other musical and choreographic surprises.

Guest soloists from Austria, Italy, and Switzerland will be presented in the coming weeks, so the surprises keep coming!

Every year we surprise you with a new repertoire, new special guests, and spectacular choreographies so that every VIENNESE ROYALTY remains a memorable one!
