Megaron – The Athens Concert Hall
Christos Lambrakis Hall
Schumann and Wagner spent a number of years in Dresden, and the former’s Piano Concerto received its première in the city; tonight, the solo part is played by the excellent Greek pianist, Domna Evnouhidou. Moreover, it was at the Dresden opera house that many of Strauss’s operas were first performed; the composer’s operatic output is represented tonight by Don Juan. Finally, conducted by the dynamic Indonesian maestro Adrian Prabava, the Athens State Orchestra will perform Schumann’s wonderful Manfred overture in honour of the bicentennial of the publication of Lord Byron’s poem.
