The Otto Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Nóra Füzi, embarks on a musical journey between opera and symphony. It combines the mist-shrouded Grail Castle, a poorly lit Parisian staircase and a musical portrait of the city of Rome in the light of the south.
The prelude to Richard Wagner's stage festival play Parsifal meets the rarely performed orchestral suite Roma by Georges Bizet, who is mainly known today for his opera Carmen. In between, the orchestra takes us into the world of the Parisian precariat in the 19th century with excerpts from the first act of Puccini's La Bohème: on Christmas Eve, the tubercular seamstress Mimì and the penniless, hungry writer Rodolfo search for her lost key, and the sad-sweet love story of the two takes its course.
The Otto-Sinfoniker, who owe their name to their former rehearsal venue in Moabit's Ottostrasse, accompany young vocal soloists, including Xiaoyu Li in the role of Mimì. Nóra Füzi met her at the Hanns Eisler Academy of Music in Berlin and was able to recruit her for the Otto-Sinfoniker's programme.
