This week, Andris Nelsons returns to the Berlin Philharmonic to conduct Bruckner’s monumental Eighth Symphony.🎶

Fourteen years after Nelsons' debut with the orchestra, he concludes the composer’s 200th anniversary celebrations with this landmark work. Initially rejected by Hermann Levi, Bruckner reworked the symphony into its now-famous second version, a triumph of profound orchestration and emotional depth.

For Nelsons, this work is an 'existential experience' – a deeply personal connection that promises powerful and moving performances to conclude the Bruckner year ✨

08/12/2024

Since 2018, Cornelius Meister has been shaping the artistic direction of the Staatsoper and Staatsorchester Stuttgart with remarkable vision and a versatile repertoire spanning from Viennese Classicism to contemporary music.

On November 24, Mozart’s 'Idomeneo' premiered to great acclaim under his baton at the Stuttgart Staatsoper. More performances of this Sturm und Drang masterpiece are scheduled through December 🎭

In between those performances, on December 8 and 9, Meister will lead the Staatsorchester Stuttgart in two symphonic concerts at the Liederhalle Stuttgart. The evening opens with Boulez’s 12 Notations for Orchestra, a work he knows intimately as a former assistant to the composer. The centerpiece of the concert is Bruckner’s Eighth Symphony, one of the great milestones of symphonic repertoire🎶

In January 2025, Meister returns to the Vienna State Opera for Strauss’s Ariadne auf Naxos, with three performances, especially anticipated for Anna Netrebko’s debut as Ariadne✨
