Beethoven / Sibelius – Opéra Nouvel de Lyon, Lyon

About this event

A dramatic symphonic encounter of “fire under the ice” pairs Beethoven’s monumental Symphony No. 7 with the luminous expanse of Sibelius’s Symphony No. 2. Under the baton of Giulio Cilona, the Orchestre de l’Opéra de Lyon showcases dramatic power and refined listening, shaping two pillars of the orchestral repertoire into a compelling, two-part journey. Wagner’s long-admired Seventh dances with rhythmic vitality and inexorable momentum before yielding to Sibelius’s radiance and breadth—music that glows with Nordic light. The evening promises eloquence, intensity, and clarity across contrasting musical landscapes.
