In Chicago it's time to say goodbye - and in Frankfurt too: Riccardo Muti is traveling to the Main for the last time in his office as chief conductor of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. After 14 years, the 82-year-old grand seigneur takes his hat off at Lake Michigan. In cooperation with the Frankfurt Konzertdirektion Pro Arte, the Alte Oper is taking two concert evenings to celebrate Muti's farewell as chief conductor of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. And the Chicagoers and their maestro are looking back on the wide range of repertoire that they have covered together over the years. With a literally enchanting program that moves in dazzling orchestral colors on the threshold from Russian late romanticism to early modernism, before Brahms oscillates between North German seriousness and Viennese melancholy with his second symphony. On the lecterns on the second evening: a very personal selection of works that speaks both of the maestro's Italian homeland and of America - his musical home base. Philip Glass, compositional pioneer and symbolic figure for an important American way of music, contributes a new work to this event. The Italian part, on the other hand, is taken on by two representatives of German Romanticism: both Mendelssohn's "Italian" and the orchestral cycle "Aus Italy" by the almost youthful Richard Strauss owe their intense impressions of Italy. like from America – his still musical home base.

In Chicago heißt es Abschied nehmen – und in Frankfurt auch: Zum letzten Mal reist Riccardo Muti in seinem Amt als Chefdirigent des Chicago Symphony Orchestra an den Main. Nach 14 Jahren nimmt der 82-jährige Grandseigneur seinen Hut am Lake Michigan. In Kooperation mit der Frankfurter Konzertdirektion Pro Arte lässt die Alte Oper sich zwei Konzertabende lang Zeit, um den Abschied von Muti als Chef am Pult des Chicago Symphony Orchestra zu zelebrieren. Und die Chicagoer unternehmen dabei mit ihrem Maestro Rückschau auf die große Repertoire-Bandbreite, die sie gemeinsam in all den Jahren durchschritten haben. Mit einem buchstäblich zauberhaften Programm, das sich in schillernden Orchesterfarben an der Schwelle von russischer Spätromantik zu früher Moderne bewegt, bevor Brahms mit seiner zweiten Sinfonie zwischen norddeutschem Ernst und Wiener Melancholie changiert. Am zweiten Abend auf den Pulten: eine sehr persönliche Werkauswahl, die von der italienischen Heimat des Maestros ebenso kündet, wie von Amerika – seiner musikalischen Noch-Homebase. Philip Glass, kompositorischer Pionier und Symbolfigur für einen wichtigen American Way of Music, steuert zu diesem Ereignis ein neues Werk bei. Den italienischen Part übernehmen hingegen zwei Vertreter der deutschen Romantik: Intensiven Italieneindrücken verdanken sich sowohl Mendelssohns "Italienische" als auch der Orchesterzyklus "Aus Italien" des fast noch jugendlichen Richard Strauss.
