| Berlin (22 November 2022) – In their traditional New Year’s Eve Concert, the Berliner Philharmoniker will this time bring the year to a close with lively, dramatic Italian flair: under the direction of their chief conductor Kirill Petrenko, they will present a multifaceted programme of great Italian opera with famous opera arias by Giuseppe Verdi and Pietro Mascagni, among others, with star tenor Jonas Kaufmann. They will also perform excerpts from Nino Rota’s moving film score to Federico Fellini’s La strada and Sergei Prokofiev’s expressive musical interpretation of Romeo and Juliet, plus Tchaikovsky’s sumptuous take on Italy in his Capriccio italien. The concert, which as every year has been sold out for a long time, can still be enjoyed live in around 280 cinemas in Europe from 16:00 GMT (17:00 CET, Berlin time) on Saturday, 31 December.
