Unfortunately, Infection Protection Measures Ordinance of the Bavarian State Government continues to allow only 25% of the possible seating capacity. To our great regret, the first concerts of the subscription series B (on 13./14.01.2022) under the direction of Iván Fischer can therefore not take place as part of the subscription. Subscription Series B customers will, of course, automatically receive a pro-rata refund of their subscription fees. Subscription tickets issued for the concerts on 13/14 January will be cancelled and are invalid. We ask for your understanding that the refund will take some time. On Tuesday, January 4, 2022, at 9 am the concerts went on sale again with a capacity of 25%.

About the Programme

A Beethoven festival with Iván Fischer! This Hungarian conductor has acquired international fame for his readings of the classical-romantic repertoire and makes guest appearances with all the great orchestras. His BRSO programme features the Eighth Symphony, full of merriment and understated humour, and the Fifth, where Fate knocks at the door and the almost martial finale seems to find the composer “grabbing destiny by the throat”. Between these two mutually contradictory masterpieces is the revenge aria Ah! Perfido!, to words by Pietro Metastasio. The soprano is Christiane Karg.
