Rachmaninoff Cycle
The Opernhaus and Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich are teaming up for the Rachmaninoff cycle in 2023.
It will be more than just a gesture: the friendly conductors Paavo Järvi and Gianandrea Noseda think the project is unique and will even swap desks next season: «Where has that happened before, that the two leading orchestras of a city seek an exchange?»
The occasion is the 150th birthday of Sergei Rachmaninoff, who lived and composed in his villa «Senar» in Weggis on Lake Lucerne from 1932 to 1939. The cycle will focus on his symphonies and piano concertos with renowned soloists such as Yefim Bronfman and Yuja Wang as well as Francesco Piemontesi in the 2023/24 season.
