Here, Tchaikovsky’s riveting opening is followed by a tender, elegiac slow movement; the lively string-playing in the sparkling third movement is followed by a triumphant finale.
This symphony was a turning point for Tchaikovsky’s writing, a high point of Romanticism, with the breadth of human experience in glorious evidence. Conductor Pietari Inkinen draws out all the passion and colour of this immortal work.
For Prokofiev’s Sinfonia Concertante, the Sydney Symphony welcomes the return of soloist Alban Gerhardt. A superstar cellist at the peak of his powers, Gerhardt extracts every moment of expressive richness from this piece. You’ll understand why he is regarded as one of the world’s musical greats.
Step-free access with lifts and wheelchair seating, accessible bathrooms across multiple levels, assistive listening, captioned and audio-described performances, and registered service animals are welcome throughout the Sydney Opera House.
