Interesting side note: Eteri Lamoris competed in the 1994 Operalia contest with José Cura.
Christmas Gala at the Konzerthaus
The Christmas in Vienna gala was premiered in
1992 and, ever since, has boasted glittering line-ups: from Plácido
Domingo, José Carreras and Luciano Pavarotti to Grace Bumbry and
Thomas Hampson. This year, two great stars from the international
world of opera – Elaîna Garanca and José Cura – will be gracing the
stage of Vienna’s Konzerthaus, and together with soprano Eteri
Lamoris and Austrian baritone Paul A. Edelmann giving renditions of
Christmas classics in the world’s capital of music.
The Vienna Boys’ Choir – Austria’s cultural ambassadors par
excellence – will be appearing, as will the 100-plus members of the
Wiener Singakademie. The instrumental backdrop comes from the
renowned Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by Karel Mark Chichon.
The program features everything from classics and alpine favorites
to songs from the UK, Italy, Latvia and Argentina. And at the end,
all soloists will come together to perform what is undoubtedly the
ultimate Christmas carol – “Silent Night”.
A few hours beforehand those interested in a seasonal sing-along can
also head to the Konzerthaus for a newly revived tradition, joining
the Wiener Singakademie in the Mozart-Saal to sing the most
beautiful Advent and Christmas carols. Youngsters are also very
welcome!
