Vienna celebrates with a summer night concert and quiet rainbow parade!
Wien, Österreich - Today, on June 14, 2025, Vienna is shaped by exciting cultural events. The evening is all about the impressive summer night concert of the Vienna Philharmonic, which takes place this year under the direction of the renowned Maestro Tugan Sokhiev. ORF 2 broadcasts the concert live and if you stay at home, you can look forward to the live stream through ORF on Austria. In addition, the recording is available as video-on-demand for 30 days. In addition, 3sat shows the concert at 8:15 p.m.
A highlight of the evening will be the appearance of the celebrated tenor Piotr Beczała, who will perform three arias from known operas. Among them are pieces from bicets "Carmen", Puccini's "Turandot" and Kálmán's "Countess Mariza". Also new this year is the participation of the Viennese singing boys who enrich the concert with their singing.
cultural diversity despite grief
Another important occasion in Vienna is the premiere of the opera "Voice Killer" by Miroslav Srnka, which was first seen on June 13th in the music theater at Vienna. This story is about a GI private, who is looking for the voice of his late mother in the delusion, which leads to tragic consequences. Although the audience showed a positive echo during the break, the Halener Haus was. Director Herheim addressed the audience and asked for understanding because the evening had a special context in view of the grief for the victims of a killing spree in Graz.
In addition to the premiere, some changes were made in January 2025 as part of the performance of the "The Barber of Sevilla" in the State Opera. The old production of Rennert was preferred due to the technical problems of the new version. This decision was positively received by the regular audience, and the well -known bass baritone Bryn Terfel gave his Viennese roller brain as a basil. A special minute's commemoration and mourning.
an evening of memories
The Viennese rainbow parade also takes place in parallel to these significant events, which is committed this year under the shadow of mourning and committed in memory of the victims of Graz. Changes in the program include, for example, the ban on hard alcohol and music, while a mourning banner symbolizes the collective memory. Last but not least, we also have to mourn the loss of the costume and stage designer Pantelis Dessylla, who died on June 3, 2025 at the age of 89. The Vienna State Opera continues to plan to resume the Fritsch staging of "The Barber of Sevilla" in the 2025/26 season. This mix of celebration and grief shapes today in Vienna, which is a reflection of the rich and yet vulnerable cultural scene of the city.| Details | |
