Sommernachtskonzert 2024

The focus of this year's program was on popular works from the 19th and 20th centuries from Europe's rich musical heritage. Bedrich Smetana, one of the most important Czech composers, was honoured with three works to mark the 200th anniversary of his birth. Andris Nelsons conducted the concert for the second time, while Norwegian opera and lieder singer Lise Davidsen made her début with the orchestra. She sang two arias - from Richard Wagner's 'Tannhäuser' and Giuseppe Verdi's 'La forza del destino'.
