The Cyprus Symphony Orchestra, in collaboration with the Austrian Embassy in Nicosia celebrate 60 years of diplomatic relations between Austria & Cyprus. On this occasion, they will be presenting emblematic music by great composers coming from the two countries.
Under the baton of Günter Neuhold, this beautiful musical synergy features two outstanding lyrical singers, the Austrian baritone Günter Haumer and the Cypriot soprano Zoe Nicolaidou.
Inspired by the respective musical traditions of Cyprus and Austria, this festive programme includes music by Solon Michaelides, Johann Strauss and Franz Lehár: Cyprus myth and history-inspired works such as the Suite Archaïque and Aria of Nausica by Solon and Alkis Baltas’ orchestration of “Arodafnousa”, alongside graceful and exuberant Viennese music, including delightful highlights from the operettas Die fledermaus and Die lustige Witwe.
