The 2011-2012 Concerts

Concerts

Orchestra and Chorus of the Teatro Regio

Eleven concerts of the Orchestra and Chorus of the Regio and the Filarmonica '900 of the Teatro Regio make up the season of  2011-12 Concerts that has begun on 12 November 2011 and concludes on 25 May 2012. A musical acknowledgement that begins with Mozart, the obvious point of departure, and continues through the great German nineteenth century, the best Italian opera and post-Romantic symphonies, to finish with the luxuriant and articulated twentieth century in which even song-writers have a legitimate place. A concert season that spans vastly different styles, putting to the test the versatility of the artistic forces of the Regio and stimulating the curiosity of the public.
