Marin Sorescu National Theatre, Craiova

MUSICIANS 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 and philharmonic stages worldwide. Just to mention a few traditional venues: Brucknerhaus Linz (Linz Philharmonic), Bregenz Festspielhaus (Bregenz Philharmonic), Brunnenhof der Residenz Munich (Imperial Palace in Munich),Hofburg Palace in Vienna, Stadthalle Vienna, Meistersingershalle Nurnberg, Kasemattenbuehne Graz, etc.

The orchestra's recognition is also given by collaborations with great names of world lyricism, soloists, and conductors from the Arena in Verona, Scala Theater in Milan, Rome Opera House, Vienna State Opera, etc.

Members of the Orchestra di Teatro D’opera Italiana are joined by instrumental artists from ORCHESTRA OPEREI VOX, known and appreciated both nationally and internationally. It isa new concept in Romania when instrumental artists from two top-tier European orchestras join forces to offer the audience memorable evenings and unique musical experiences.

Moreover, the two orchestras have been invited this year to the largest opera festival in Asia, “Borneo Opera Festival,” as official orchestras, by the Malaysian government.

ROMANIAN CONDUCTOR WITH INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION AND GUEST VIOLIN SOLOIST INVITED ON ALL MAJOR STAGES OF THE WORLD

The musical direction of the show will be ensured by the young conductor and violin soloist BOGDAN COSTACHE, thus, the soloists and instrumentalists invited 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! BOGDAN COSTACHE's presence in this year's VIENNESE REGAL program is due to you, the audience, who have already come to love him so much  and have shown yourselves 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” in the style of JOHANN STRAUSS or, more recently, ANDRE RIEU.

  As in the "Three 3 Italian Tenors" show where you enjoyed the beautiful pieces played on the violin by BOGDAN COSTACHE, in the VIENNESE REGAL we have prepared many solo surprises performed on the violin, alongside the orchestra, by BOGDAN!

THE SHOW WILL BE COMPLETED BY THE CHOIR AND BALLET OF OPERA VOX

Members of the orchestra will be joined by the OPERA VOX BALLET ENSEMBLE with the much-awaited moments of waltzes, polkas, can-can, in an effervescent and engaging choreography, so much so that you will be invited to dance by our orchestras and ballerinas through the famous “Alles Walzer!”

Beautiful carols and Christmas songs will shine through the voices of the OPERA VOX CHOIR. This year as well, you will enjoy our traditional Romanian carols.

The atmosphere and Viennese spirit will captivate you from the moment you enter the concert hall and will remain in your heart as a living memory for Christmas and the New Year to come. If you cannot attend the Christmas and New Year concerts in Vienna, we bring the Viennese spirit to your city through the most beautiful Viennese musical masterpieces of the Strauss dynasty, Franz Lehar, Emmerich Kalman, and many, many other musical and choreographic surprises.

The 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 each VIENNESE REGAL remains memorable!
