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

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.

Mozart: Overture from Don Giovanni

Beethoven: Piano Concerto No. 5, “Emperor”

Beethoven: Symphony No. 3, “Eroica”

Fuyin Liu – Piano & Resident Soloists

The Prague night of 1787 trembled with expectation as the musicians of the National Theatre laid the still-damp, hastily copied sheets of the Don Giovanni overture on their stands. Mozart had only completed the score in the early hours, while his wife Constanze kept him awake with punch and ghost stories—a feat of genius dictated by time itself.

A far more thunderous historical backdrop surrounds Beethoven’s Fifth Piano Concerto, the heroic work in E-flat major forged in 1809 amid the roar of Napoleon’s cannons during the siege of Vienna. It is pure historical paradox: as French artillery shook the city walls and the aristocracy fled in panic, Beethoven, already struggling with profound hearing loss, sought refuge in his brother’s cellar. The name “Emperor,” bestowed by posterity, is an ironic twist: Beethoven did not compose a hymn to the advancing conqueror, but rather erected an unshakable architecture of the human spirit against the destruction outside. In a city that smelled of gunpowder and where fear dictated daily life, he created sounds of imperial vastness, lifting the individual above the chaos of war.

This spirit of resistance to tyranny had already shaped his Third Symphony, the Eroica—a turning point where Viennese Classicism finally shattered its fragile porcelain. Vienna was then a crucible of political hope, eyes fixed on Paris, where a young general named Bonaparte toppled the old order. Beethoven initially saw him as the living embodiment of Enlightenment ideals—until the news of Napoleon’s self-coronation in May 1804 seeped like poison into his vision. The moment when Beethoven erased the dedication on the title page with such force that the paper tore is more than a biographical anecdote—it is the symbol of music discovering its political conscience. In the torn fibers of the manuscript, one can sense the shock of an entire generation, forced to confront that its dreams of freedom had been buried in the mud of the battlefield.

The Hercules Hall was originally the throne room of Louis I and was built as a concert hall after its reconstruction. It served as a replacement for Klenze’s Odeon, which was also destroyed. Until the opening of the Philharmonie am Gasteig, it was the most important concert hall in Munich. Its name comes from the tapestries depicting the Hercules saga commissioned by Duke Albrecht V in 1556.
