You will hear more and experience more during RO NOW, in which we immerse you briefly and powerfully in the most beautiful symphonic music. Presenter Christiaan Kuyvenhoven, together with the orchestra, will give you exciting examples and explanations beforehand. This will give you an insight into the special compositions we play. The concert itself? Music that surprises, moves, and stays with you. After the concert, be sure to linger in the foyer, where live music, a drink on the house, and a cozy atmosphere will round off the evening.

Richard Strauss' Schlagobers, written for his 60th birthday, takes you to a Viennese pastry shop full of musical delicacies. This rarely performed ballet is a light-hearted, cheerful, and charming masterpiece that the Residentie Orkest is performing Residentie Orkest the first time. A unique opportunity to experience this rare composition. After this musical sweetness, Johann Strauss Jr. joins in with the irresistible energy of Unter Donner und Blitz, a musical storm full of humor and flair. We conclude with one of his most famous waltzes: An der schönen blauen Donau. An evening in which Viennese traditions come to life under sparkling chandeliers.
