Midsummer Night’s Gala Grafenegg

Pretty Yende, who sings brilliantly partners up with her “congenial partner” (Kurier) Joseph Calleja and the wonderful cellist Harriet Krijgh.

The “spectacular opening” (Salzburger Nachrichten) of the Grafenegg Festival 2018 presented at the Midsummer Night's Gala featured lots of famous opera aria and orchestral hits from Verdi, Puccini, Rossini, Bellini, Offenbach, Elgar and more.

The Tonkunstler Orchestra under Yutaka Sado was joined by the “terrific singer” (Kurier) Pretty Yende, her “congenial partner” (Kurier) Joseph Calleja and the wonderful cellist Harriet Krijgh. “A feast for the ears” (Kurier). A spectacular open air concert – a sparkling performance to rival the closing fireworks over the magnificent “Wolkenturm” stage.
