Programme:
Verdi: Overture to Nabucco
Dvořák: Symphony No. 9 in E minor, Op. 95 “From the New World”

The 19th century was an era when European countries showed their national characters and promoted national spirits. In the long-divided Italy, Giuseppe Verdi’s opera Nabucco evoked the strong feelings of the Italian people for independence and revival through the tragic history of the ancient Hebrews. Born in Bohemia under foreign oppression, Antonín Leopold Dvořák had perfectly combined together the traditional Czech music and America folk music of the “New World”. The concert will be led by the famous Italian conductor Julian Kovatchev, presenting the audience the magnificent works of Verdi and Dvořák – Nabucoo and New World Symphony.
