Gala Concert at the Cuvilliés Theatre – A Musical VIP Experience

The very room tells a story: the golden Rococo of the Cuvilliés Theatre, once the stage for courtly celebrations and grand opera evenings. In this intimate jewel, the concert evening begins with one of the most famous overtures in music history.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart – Overture to Don Giovanni

Dark D minor, powerful chords – like the sudden lifting of a curtain. The music floods the hall with almost ominous force, announcing the “Stone Guest,” the mysterious figure who will pass judgment on the seducer at the opera’s end. But almost as soon as this shadow appears, a feverish Allegro erupts: restless, sparkling, full of dramatic energy. In just a few minutes, the entire world of Don Giovanni unfolds: tragedy and comedy, menace and zest for life.
The creation of this piece belongs to the legendary moments of music history. For the Prague premiere in 1787, Mozart composed the overture only the night before. While he worked, his wife Constanze kept him awake with stories and punch. By morning, the score was hastily copied – and that evening the orchestra performed this highly complex work almost entirely at sight. A risky undertaking, yet it became a triumphant opening to the opera.

Mozart – Symphony No. 38 “Prague”

The so-called Prague Symphony is closely linked to Mozart’s special relationship with the city. There, he was celebrated with an enthusiasm rarely experienced in reserved Vienna. “My Praguers understand me,” he is said to have remarked.
Composed in 1787, the symphony reflects this mutual admiration. It omits the customary minuet, consisting of only three movements – unusual for its time. Instead, Mozart unfolds a rich contrapuntal structure and challenges the wind players with exceptional virtuosity. The musicians in Prague were considered the best in Europe, and Mozart composed for them with palpable joy in the challenge. The result is a symphony of brilliant elegance, dramatic energy, and vibrant orchestral color.

Ludwig van Beethoven – Piano Concerto No. 3 in C minor

Beethoven’s Third Piano Concerto opens a new musical world. The key of C minor – the same in which his famous Fifth Symphony would later appear – lends the work a special dramatic intensity. Tension, passion, and almost heroic energy shape this concerto, which premiered in Vienna in 1803.
Here too, an anecdote gives a nearly cinematic image of the evening. Beethoven played the solo part himself but had scarcely found time to fully write down the score. His friend Ignaz von Seyfried, who was to turn the pages, looked at sheets mostly blank – only here and there cryptic marks served as reminders for the composer. While Seyfried nervously tried to keep up, Beethoven performed the concerto from memory with complete confidence.

A program that unites three facets of the Viennese Classical style: Mozart’s dramatic operatic world, his brilliant symphonic writing, and Beethoven’s passionate, forward-looking sound language. An evening that combines history, virtuosity, and emotion in a uniquely atmospheric setting

A Musical Winter Evening Filled with Splendour

Vivaldi’s vivid “Four Seasons”, Mozart’s effortless elegance and the festive sounds of Corelli, Handel and Pachelbel come together in a concert evening filled with virtuosity, warmth and the magic of the Christmas season.

In the magnificent Max-Joseph-Saal, beneath glittering royal chandeliers and surrounded by candlelight, this becomes an experience of rare beauty: great music in an exquisite setting where the magic of Christmas seems to glow with a life of its own.

Vivaldi: “The Four Seasons”

Few works bring nature to life with such immediacy and vivid colour as Vivaldi’s “The Four Seasons.” Across the four violin concertos unfolds a fascinating panorama of birdsong and spring breezes, summer heat and approaching thunderstorms, the joy of the harvest and the quiet stillness of winter.

Virtuosic passages, radiant colours and unforgettable melodies make this masterpiece an ever-fresh experience – alive with movement, poetry and the unmistakable spirit of Italy.

Mozart: Eine kleine Nachtmusik

With its graceful elegance and crystalline clarity, Mozart’s “Eine kleine Nachtmusik” is one of those rare works that enchants from the very first note. Light-footed, charming and seemingly effortless in its perfection, it creates an atmosphere of refined sociability and classical sophistication.

A timeless Mozart moment – full of lightness, charm and joie de vivre.

Corelli: Christmas Concerto

With Corelli’s Christmas Concerto, the special atmosphere of Advent takes centre stage. Warm string sonorities, delicate melodic lines and festive elegance combine to create music of intimate beauty.

Traditionally associated with the Christmas season, this beloved work evokes the quiet anticipation and warmth that make Advent so enchanting – festive, graceful and deeply atmospheric.

Handel: Concerto Grosso

Handel’s Concerto Grosso embodies the splendour of the Baroque at its finest. In the lively interplay between soloists and ensemble, a captivating musical dialogue unfolds, filled with virtuosity and festive brilliance.

Elegant melodic lines, powerful accents and Handel’s unmistakable grandeur give the work a majestic presence – music that reveals its full magnificence in a setting of such splendour.

Pachelbel: Canon

Pachelbel’s Canon touches the heart through its simplicity and timeless beauty. Above its gently unfolding harmonic foundation, the melody gradually blossoms, building layer by layer into a warm and almost weightless tapestry of sound.

Timelessly elegant and deeply moving, the Canon offers a moment of quiet reflection – bringing the concert evening to a serene and beautiful close.

Fünf Klavierkonzerte
J.S.Bach: Klavierkonzert Nr.1 D-Moll BWV 1052
J.S.Bach: Klavierkonzert Nr.2 E-Dur BWV 1053
J.S.Bach: Klavierkonzert Nr.3 D-Dur BWV 1054 
J.S.Bach: Klavierkonzert Nr.4 A-Dur BWV 1055 
J.S.Bach: Klavierkonzert Nr.5 F-Moll BWV 1056

On this festive occasion, the All Saints’ Court Church Allerheiligen Hofkirche glows in the warm light of candles, opening its venerable spaces for an extraordinary musical experience: the five great Bach piano concertos, masterfully performed by Collins Tanujaya, Dongqi Zhang, Naoe Sasaki, Carles Díaz Morros, and Rezi Marshania, accompanied by the Residenz-Solisten.

Bach’s Piano Concerto No. 1 in D minor, BWV 1052 is considered one of the most powerful and technically demanding works of Baroque music. Originally likely conceived as a violin concerto, it captivates with dramatic energy and a virtuosity that feels strikingly modern.

In contrast, the Piano Concerto No. 2 in E major, BWV 1053 is brighter, more pastoral, and relaxed. It is a prime example of Bach’s masterful parody technique, featuring luminous, dance-like character, buoyant rhythms, and elegant melodies that refresh the senses.

Majestic and radiant, Piano Concerto No. 3 in D major, BWV 1054 is a transcription of Bach’s famous Violin Concerto in E major (BWV 1042). Bach likely created this version between 1738 and 1739 for the concerts of the Collegium Musicum in Leipzig, where he himself performed the solo part on the harpsichord. Its splendid harmonies and dynamic contrasts fill the hall with energy.

The elegant Piano Concerto No. 4 in A major, BWV 1055 is one of Bach’s most radiant and lively works for keyboard. It impresses with subtle counterpoint and sparkling piano passages that artfully complement the strings.

The crowning conclusion is Piano Concerto No. 5 in F minor, BWV 1056, whose passionate drama and poetic delicacy linger long after the final note.

In the intimate atmosphere of candlelight, music, light, and historic architecture merge into an unforgettable experience. Every note becomes a treasure, every phrase an invitation to immerse oneself fully in Bach’s world of sound.
