Das Große Silvesterkonzert by Various, Pk 31 dec 2021, No (2021/2021), Diriģents Leslie Suganandarajah, Großes Festspielhaus, Salzburg, Austria

The program of the concert in the Great Festival Hall leads from the Danube and Vltava to Scotland and the Venice lagoon. The New Year's Eve concert of the Salzburg State Theater is a fixed point in the concert calendar. For the second time, music director Leslie Suganandarajah will take over the musical direction of the evening and, together with the Mozarteum Orchestra Salzburg, will lead you into the new year. The music takes you on a journey across the waterways of Europe from Jacques Offenbach's “Rheinnixen”, to the famous symphonic representation of the Vltava from Bedřich Smetana's “My Fatherland” and Felix Mendelssohn's windswept “Hebrides” to Johann Strauss's “North Sea Pictures”. Anne-Fleur Werner, Olivia Cosío and the ballet of the Salzburg State Theater complete the diverse symphonic program with songs such as Antonin Dvořak's “Song to the Moon”, the “Barcarole” from “Hoffmann's Tales” and the famous pas des deux “White Swan” and "Spring Waters". Naturally, the program is also dedicated to the famous polka and waltz melodies of the Strauss dynasty, without which a New Year's Eve festival is unlikely to be imagined
