Der Rosenkavalier on DVD
“The high point of the operatic year” was what the critics called the performances of “Der Rosenkavalier” at the Baden-Baden Festival at the beginning of 2009. Now this highly praised opera production is being released on DVD. Under the direction of Christian Thielemann, the Munich Philharmonic accompanies a dream cast on stage. Besides Diana Damrau, Sophie Koch, Franz Hawlata and Jonas Kaufmann as the Italian Tenor, Renée Fleming truly glows in one of her signature roles – the Marschallin. The DVD is available from retailers from October 6 of 2009.
Annual Program to Download
The new concert season is about to start. The annual program is available as a .pdf file. Please be aware that the annual program is only available in German.
Mphil on Tour
In this season as well, the Munich Philharmonic with their General Music Director Christian Thielemann will be giving international guest performances. The high point is the tour to Japan in March of 2010, at which the orchestra will continue the contact that began with the successful Asian tour in November of 2007. But Amsterdam, Paris and Vienna also number among the orchestra’s tour destinations.
