Message received:

The Berliner Philharmoniker’s New Year’s Eve Gala with chief conductor Kirill Petrenko and star tenor Jonas Kaufmann will be broadcast live from the Philharmonie Berlin in more than 285 European cinemas…

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 on Saturday, 31 December.
