"If someone asked to you hum the first piece of classical music which came to your mind, what would it be? For us, the opening four notes of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony would always be near the top of the list. It is perhaps one of the best known moments in music from any genre. But it heralds just the beginning of Beethoven's epic journey from darkness into light, a work which never fails to uplift or move those who hear it.
His greatest symphony triumphantly reassures us all that hope can exist and light can triumph in even the bleakest of times. This music demands to be experienced live, and in the hands of the WNO Orchestra conducted by Music Director, Lothar Koenigs, this is an opportunity you will not want to pass you by.
The Symphony is the culmination of a concert which is itself a journey from darkness to light, beginning Beethoven's brooding Grosse Fugue and Zimmermann's Trumpet Concerto, evoking the struggle against oppression. Don't miss a moment. Book Now."
