For decades, the Vienna Symphony
Orchestra has celebrated spring with the successful televised
concert "Springtime from Vienna." Starting in 2025, the
traditional Viennese orchestra will bring its musical spring to
Trieste, holding three concerts as part of the new Easter
festival "Springtime from Vienna."
Jan Nast, Artistic Director of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra,
said: "We want to combine the best of two cultures: Trieste has
always been a place of nostalgia for many Viennese, and our
Easter concert has been the favored way to welcome spring for
decades. As musical ambassadors of Vienna, through the new
festival, we want to revitalize and reinterpret the shared
history of the two cities, Vienna and Trieste, and the great
cultural heritage of the entire Alpine-Danube-Adriatic region."
The Vienna Symphony Orchestra and the Politeama Rossetti have
a long-standing tradition: the orchestra held its first concert
at the Teatro Stabile del Friuli Venezia Giulia "Il Rossetti" in
1902. In the orchestra's 125-year history, nine concerts have
occurred in Trieste.
The musicians of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra will spend
about a week at the Politeama Rossetti in 2025, revitalizing the
cultural exchange between Italy and Austria.
The 2025 "Springtime from Vienna" festival program includes
three evenings: April 11, 2025, 8:30 PM: Music by Verdi and
Wagner, conducted by Petr Popelka with exceptional guest
soloists; April 12, 2025, 7:30 PM: Symphonies by Mozart and
Mahler, with Petr Popelka and Julia Kleiter.; April 13, 2025,
4:00 PM: A tribute to Johann and Josef Strauss and Puccini,
conducted by Petr Popelka.
