Richard Strauss's 'Schlagobers' Suite, composed for his 60th birthday, whisks you away to a Viennese pastry shop full of musical delights. This rarely performed ballet suite in two movements is a light-hearted, cheerful and charming masterpiece, brought to the stage by the Residentie Orkest for the first time. A unique opportunity to experience this rare gem. After this musical indulgence, Johann Strauss Jr. will take over with the irresistible energy of Unter Donner und Blitz, a musical whirlwind of humour and flair. We'll end the evening with one of his most famous waltzes, An der schönen blauen Donau. An evening where Viennese traditions dazzle in the glow of sparkling chandeliers.
