Arcangelo Corelli opens our journey into the Baroque world with his famous "Christmas Concerto." Written "for the night of the Nativity," it exudes a solemn tranquility. The highlight is the finale—a Pastorale whose swaying rhythms evoke images of shepherds in the fields. Antonio Vivaldi provides a thrilling contrast with his flute concerto "La Notte" (The Night). Here, we experience not a silent night, but one filled with ghosts and dreams. Vivaldi masterfully uses the flute to depict flickering shadows and nocturnal unrest—an early masterpiece of program music.
Classical balance returns with Joseph Haydn. His Concerto for Flute and Harp (often performed as an arrangement of the double concerto for flute and oboe) is a prime example of elegance. The harp lends the work a silvery shimmer that perfectly complements the flute's virtuosic lines. A very different kind of virtuosity awaits in François Borne’s "Carmen Fantasy"—a true firework display for the flute. Borne takes the passionate themes from Bizet’s opera Carmen and transforms them into a high-octane showpiece that demands everything from the soloist, from fateful motifs and the seductive Habanera to the fiery gypsy dance and the proud march of the toreros.
The full power of the orchestra unfolds in Bedřich Smetana’s "The Moldau." We follow the river from its two small springs—represented by two shimmering flutes—to its majestic flow through Prague. Smetana succeeded in capturing the soul of his Bohemian homeland, even though the main theme is actually based on an old Swedish folk song he encountered during his time in Gothenburg.
A fairytale highlight is set by the selections from Peter Tchaikovsky’s ballets. Whether it is the majestic entrance of the swan knight in "Swan Lake" or the enchanting character dances from "The Nutcracker," Tchaikovsky was the undisputed magician of melody. Finally, Jacques Offenbach provides a rousing conclusion. While the "Barcarolle" from The Tales of Hoffmann gently rocks us in a Venetian gondola, the famous "Can-Can" from Orpheus in the Underworld will inevitably pull you from your seats. Originally intended as a satire of Parisian society, this wild dance became the ultimate symbol of French joie de vivre.

Arcangelo Corelli's famous Christmas Concerto marks the beginning of our journey into the world of the Baroque. Written "for the night of Christ's birth," it exudes a solemn tranquility. The highlight is the finale, a pastoral whose lilting rhythms evoke the image of shepherds in the fields.
Antonio Vivaldi's flute concerto "La Notte" (The Night) provides a fascinating contrast. Here, we experience not a silent night, but one filled with ghosts and dreams. Vivaldi masterfully uses the flute to musically depict fluttering shadows and nocturnal restlessness—an early example of program music.
With Mozart, a classical balance returns. His Concerto for Flute and Harp is a prime example of elegance. The harp lends the work a silvery sheen that perfectly complements the flute's virtuosic lines.
A completely different kind of virtuosity is encountered in the music of François Borne. His "Carmen Fantasy" is a true firework display for the flute. He takes the passionate themes from Bizet's opera "Carmen" and transforms them into a highly virtuosic showpiece that demands everything from the soloist – from the fateful motifs and the seductive Habanera to the fiery Gypsy Dance and the proud March of the Toreadors.
The orchestra's power is fully unleashed in Bedřich Smetana's "The Moldau." We accompany the river from its two small sources – represented by two shimmering flutes – to its majestic current flowing through Prague. Here, Smetana succeeded in capturing the soul of his Bohemian homeland in music, although the main theme is actually based on an old Swedish folk song he encountered during his time in Gothenburg.
Highlights from the ballets of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky provide a fairytale-like highlight. Whether it was the majestic entrance of the Swan Knight in "Swan Lake" or the enchanting character dances from "The Nutcracker," Tchaikovsky was the undisputed magician of melody.
Jacques Offenbach provides the rousing finale. While the Barcarolle from "The Tales of Hoffmann" gently rocks us in a Venetian gondola, the famous Can-Can from "Orpheus in the Underworld" irresistibly sweeps us from our seats. Originally conceived as a satire on Parisian society, this wild dance became the epitome of French joie de vivre.

The antiquarium wing built under Duke Albrecht V forms the southern wing of a courtyard complex rounded off under Duke Maximilian I. The courtyard, which was used for tournaments and as a carriage driveway at the time, got its name from the fountain in the center of the eight-sided courtyard, which is crowned by a bronze statue of Duke Otto I, the first Bavarian duke from the House of Wittelsbach.
