Sommernachtsgala

Austria

Great voices and the magic of the violin - this is how Grafenegg opens the 2019 season with the Summer Night Gala. Against the romantic backdrop of the castle park, the Tonkunstler Orchestra at the Cloud Tower will accompany the Austrian violinist Emmanuel Tjeknavorian, the Bulgarian soprano Sonya Yoncheva and the French baritone Ludovic Tézier. Yutaka Sado conducts a program of great arias and duets with virtuoso music. And of course the fireworks for "Pomp and Circumstance" will not fail to have an effect.
