Classical Operetta Gala
The music from the great canon of classical operetta never fails to create a celebratory atmosphere. The dazzling and enchanting melodies of Lehár, Kálmán, Strauss, and Offenbach will be performed by the Mikhailovsky Theatre’s leading vocalists. In the tradition of salon music, a piano and a string duet will provide accompaniment. Maestro Dmitri Jurowski will be returning to the stage as cellist after a long absence.
The programme includes fragments from operettas by Imre Kálmán, Franz Lehár, Johann Strauss the Young, Jacques Offenbach, Karl Zeller, Charles Lecocq
