Edinburgh International Festival: Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia
Sir Antonio Pappano and the Orchestra dell鈥橝ccademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia open the 2016 Edinburgh Festival at the Usher Hall with Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov and Schoenberg.
Sir Antonio Pappano and the Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia performed the opening Usher Hall concert of the 2016 Edinburgh International Festival. It was their second concert in town that year, as the Festival Theatre hosted a performance where they were joined by notable Italian cast members Cecilia Bartolli and I Barocchisti to perform Bellini's Norma. The Usher Hall opening concert presents a programme of two very different love stories. Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture reflects the Shakespearean theme running through the Festival that year, while Schoenberg's rich score of the symbolist play Pelleas and Melisande tells a more ambiguous and troubling tale. Pianist Boris Berezovsky joins the orchestra to perform the most popular set of variations ever to be inspired by Paganini's 24th Caprice - the Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini by Rachmaninov.
Presented by Kate Molleson at the Usher Hall, Edinburgh, on 7th August 2016.
