Live: Europakonzert 2025 from Bari, Italy

The Berliner Philharmoniker & Riccardo Muti with a mixed programme of Italian and German music.

Following the Berliner Philharmoniker's Europakonzert at the Teatro di San Carlo in Naples in 2009, maestro Riccardo Muti now returns to conduct another edition in his homeland - with a mixed programme of Italian and German music. With its brick-red façade, a gleaming white entrance area and a magnificent red and gold auditorium, the venue for this year’s Europakonzert, Bari’s Teatro Petruzzelli, is an architectural jewel.

Under the direction of Riccardo Muti, the Berliner Philharmoniker present a mixed programme of Italian and German music. Rossini’s rousing William Tell Overture and the atmospheric ballet music from Verdi’s opera The Sicilian Vespers exude Italianità. Completing the programme, the dusky mixture of yearning and consolation in Brahms’ Second Symphony make the work a seminal example of late German Romanticism.
