On 5 February 2027, the Sala Iturbi at Palau de la Música hosts a symphonic concert dedicated to Richard Wagner. The Orquesta de València, under the baton of Marc Albrecht, will perform the preludes from three of his most celebrated operas: Lohengrin, Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, and Tannhäuser, along with the Bacchanal from the latter. The programme also features Antonín Dvořák’s Cello Concerto in B minor, Op. 104, though the soloist has yet to be confirmed.
Concert Programme
The repertoire brings together two of the 19th century’s most influential composers. Wagner’s preludes—drawn from operas like Lohengrin and Tannhäuser—are standalone orchestral pieces that capture the dramatic essence of his works. Meanwhile, Dvořák’s concerto, one of the most performed in the cello repertoire, is renowned for its lyricism and virtuosity.
Marc Albrecht, a guest conductor with an international career, has worked with ensembles such as the Deutsche Oper Berlin and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. His presence in Valencia enhances the Palau’s 2026-2027 season, which celebrates its 40th anniversary with a diverse symphonic offering.
