There is one important point of contact in the work of the maestro of Italian opera and the contemporary Austrian composer Matthias Georg Kendlinger - it is always the people who are the focus. For father and son Kendlinger, it is a matter of the heart to share the podium on this contrasting concert evening. Together with their K&K Philharmonic Orchestra, the K&K Opera Choir, vocal and instrumental soloists such as the Graz pianist Philipp Scheucher, they will convey precisely this idea to sensitive and stirring music.
With over 28 million views, Kendlinger's recording of Verdi's prisoners' chorus "Va, pensiero" on YouTube is one of the most viewed classical recordings in the world after Pavarotti and the Three Tenors.
The part of the internationally renowned hip-hop dancer Yann Antonio, who will dance his interpretation of Giuseppe Verdi's "Giovanna d'Arco" overture, also promises to be an exciting performance.
“Best of Verdi meets Kendlinger” connects generations and sets an example that we can carry into our everyday lives.
