- Synopsis:
The Berliner Philharmoniker celebrate their founding day (May 1st, 1882) every year in a European city of cultural significance.
- The venue for the 2018 Europakonzert is an architectural gem: the Margravial Opera House in Bayreuth, one of the few remaining original Baroque theatres, which was declared UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2012.
- Built in wood in the middle of the 18th century, the opera house is one of the few original theatre buildings of the era.- In 1872, Richard Wagner conducted Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony at the Margravial Opera House. By performing works by these two composers at the same venue for the traditional Europakonzert , the Berliner Philharmoniker pay homage to the history of the city and its Baroque theatre.
- For the first time, the Europakonzert is conducted by Paavo Järvi, who caused a sensation not least with his recordings of Beethoven’s symphonies. The soloist is seasoned Bayreuth performer Eva-Maria Westbroek.
