Twelfth Night Concert – Italian Opera Gems

Twelfth Night is a time for splendour and celebration – and what could be more festive than the fiery passion of Italian opera? The Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra invites you to a concert filled with some of the most beloved arias and duets in the Italian operatic repertoire.

The conductor is Tobias Ringborg, one of Sweden’s foremost opera specialists and a natural choice for this operatic feast. He has appeared regularly with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic for many years and is deeply rooted in the Italian opera tradition.

Joining him are two of Sweden’s brightest opera stars. Soprano Ida Falk Winland enjoys an international career and was recently acclaimed for her portrayal of Cio-Cio-San in Madama Butterfly at the Gothenburg Opera. Tenor Tobias Westman, at the beginning of a brilliant career, has already made a strong impression on opera stages in Sweden and across Europe, with a broad and impressive repertoire.

In this year’s Twelfth Night concert, we open the treasure chest of Italian opera, with glorious music by Giuseppe Verdi, Giacomo Puccini, Amilcare Ponchielli and Gaetano Donizetti. One thing is certain: hearts will beat a little faster as we revel in the magic of opera.

Dancing in the Grünewald Hall after the concert – with the Leif Kronlund Orchestra, joined by vocalists Anita Berggren and Stickan Granberg.
