with works by Ruggero Leoncavallo, Gioachino Rossini, Johann Strauss, Robert Stolz and others.

Soloists from the Graz Opera ensemble will celebrate the start of the New Year 2026 with a good dose of Italianità together with the Graz Philharmonic Orchestra under the
baton of their longstanding conductor Marius Burkert! Titles by Austrian composers such as
Robert Stolz’s “Arrivederci bella Italia” or “Wo die Zitronen blühn” by Johann Strauss Sohn make the longing and wanderlust for the country
audible, where “everything dissolves into peace and serenity”. One always remains clear, always equanimous, always objectively tuned”. At least that’s what Wilhelm von Humboldt once wrote to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
, perhaps providing us with a fitting resolution for the
new year. In the second half of the concert, the Italian perspective becomes dominant when, for example, in Ruggero Leoncavallo’s
La Mattinata sings the praises of great love, while film music from the Fellini classic Otto e mezzo brings the lightness, fun and energy of life on Italy’s streets to the Great Hall of Graz Opera this evening!
