About This Event

Greek coloratura soprano Danae Kontora makes her Proms debut with a sequence of Mozart and Strauss arias, while Mozart鈥檚鈥楬affner鈥� Symphony is filled with operatic ornamentation and dramatic effects.

The vitality of Beethoven鈥檚 Symphony No. 7 led to its being famously described by Wagner as 鈥榯he apotheosis of the dance鈥�.

Approx. end time: 22:05
