Waldbühne 2019: Sokhiev conducts Prokofiev + Ravel

This summer, the Berliner Philharmoniker and conductor Tugan Sokhiev distinguish themselves as musical storytellers.

We will listen to Prokofiev’s humorous music for the film satire "Lieutenant Kijé", we will travel to the Orient with Maurice Ravel's song cycle "Shéhérazade" and witness the most famous love story of all time in Prokofiev’s ballet music of "Romeo and Juliet".

When, how and where can one have more pleasant dreams of faraway, mysterious worlds than at the traditional Waldbühne concert of the Berliner Philharmoniker? Join EuroArts on a journey to magical, distant places under summer skies...
