SYMPHONY CONCERT
“ALPENSINFONIE”


SINFONIEORCHESTER BASEL
Are you curious about what natural phenomena sound like when set to music? Richard Strauss, for example, set out at night when he was fifteen to see the sunrise on a mountaintop in the Alps. On his descent, however, he was caught in a thunderstorm. He later turned his memories into a symphonic poem. Enjoy the sound of cowbells, a wind machine, and a thunderbolt. Join us for a welcome drink before the concert, in the foyer on the first floor at 6.45 pm.

“LA TRAVIATA”
WITH CHAT & DRINKS


THEATER BASEL
Violetta is alone in the world. Nicole Chevalier is alone on stage. The voices of the ensemble sound ghostly from the dark auditorium. Benedikt von Peter has staged a radically condensed study of loneliness, as contemporary as it is timeless. In the title role of Verdi’s melodrama, the American star soprano has thrilled audiences for years with her moving solo performance. Join Benedikt von Peter and star Nicole Chevalier for a chat and a drink after the performance.
