Bramwell Tovey conducts the 麻豆社 Concert Orchestra in a programme to mark Lehar's 150th anniversary, including favourites from The Merry Widow, and works by his contemporaries.
Live at 麻豆社 Proms: 麻豆社 Concert Orchestra, conductor Bramwell Tovey.
Live from the Royal Albert Hall, London.
Presented by Petroc Trelawny.
Marking 150 years since the birth of Franz Leh谩r 鈥� and recalling the long-running Proms tradition of the 鈥榁iennese Night鈥� begun in the 1950s 鈥� the 麻豆社 Concert Orchestra and Bramwell Tovey step into the gilded ballroom of operetta, evoking the glamour and sophistication of turn-of-the-century Vienna.
The concert features some of Leh谩r鈥檚 most popular titles such as The Merry Widow, The Land of Smiles and Giuditta, as well as music by some of his contemporaries. Nathaniel Anderson-Frank, leader of the 麻豆社 Concert Orchestra, takes the role of Paganini with a solo from Lehar鈥檚 operetta of the same name, and the evening also includes excerpts from the most enduring and popular operetta of them all, Johann Strauss II鈥檚 Die Fledermaus.
