Stagione 2026 | Fabio Luisi [Jansen] - Teatro alla Scala - 23 febbraio 2026

The call of the horn of Oberon, king of fairies, opens this program dedicated to German symphonism. In 1826 Weber wanted to intertwine dream and reality, the world of fairies and that of knights, in a work that, together with the previous ones, made him one of the first authors of romanticism. Forty years later Bruch wrote his concerto in G minor, a favorite of virtuosi of all time. The Dutch violinist Janine Jansen, however, combines skill with an uncommon willingness to listen, a need to understand each other in music reciprocated by the friendship of some of the best performers in the world, such as Martha Argerich, Mischa Maisky and the Berliner Philharmoniker, who wanted her as artist in residence for this season. And in fact, only a perfect harmony between all the orchestra's musicians allows the Eighth, Beethoven's shortest and most unusual symphony, to stand out in all its precision and its lightness.
