Orchestra of Welsh National Opera

New Year Viennese Concert

Kick-start the New Year the right way, with WNO Orchestra.

In this unmissable New Year concert by WNO Orchestra, experience the musical pulse of Austria’s capital city, where the air is full of music and its soul rooted in Viennese.

Full of fun, attractive and zesty rhythmic masterpieces, enjoy some of the most brilliant examples of Viennese music, from Weber’s romantic concert waltz and Strauss II’s riveting polka to Josef Strauss’s Dynamiden waltz and Lanner Der Romantiker waltz, complete with a few rousing, and familiar, surprises.

Under the direction of Leader and Concertmaster David Adams and joined by WNO’s latest Associate Artists, soprano Emily Christina Loftus and mezzo-soprano Beca Davies, sit back and delight in this vibrant showcase of favourites from Vienna.
