The Overture to The Creatures of Prometheus came into being in 1801 as a ballet commission, staged in Vienna\u2019s famed Burgtheater for more than 40 performances. Cast in the classical mode, it stands in contrast to the composer\u2019s only Violin Concerto and his final symphony, where an expanding sense of space encompasses everyone in the concert hall. When soloists and chorus join together at the end of the Symphony No. 9, an entirely new world unfolds.<\/p>\n<p>Approximately 2 hours, including one interval[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;white&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Tickets<\/h2>\n<p>MOP 400\/300\/250\/180[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=&#8221;Book Now&#8221; style=&#8221;gradient-custom&#8221; gradient_custom_color_1=&#8221;#ff6e02&#8243; gradient_custom_color_2=&#8221;#a34f10&#8243; size=&#8221;lg&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; button_block=&#8221;true&#8221; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fticketing.enjoymacao.mo%2Fen%2Fprogramme%2FP-660194||target:%20_blank|&#8221; el_class=&#8221;custom-btn&#8221;][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;white&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Share<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1468908085120{margin-top: 35px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_icon icon_fontawesome=&#8221;fa fa-users&#8221; color=&#8221;custom&#8221; background_style=&#8221;rounded-outline&#8221; background_color=&#8221;black&#8221; size=&#8221;xl&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_color=&#8221;#d1ae6d&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1754299601882{margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.om-macau.org%2Fen%2Fbe-om-friends%2F||target:%20_blank|&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #d1ae6d;\"><a style=\"color: #d1ae6d;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.om-macau.org\/en\/be-om-friends\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Be OM Friends<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_icon icon_fontawesome=&#8221;fa fa-gift&#8221; color=&#8221;custom&#8221; background_style=&#8221;rounded-outline&#8221; background_color=&#8221;black&#8221; size=&#8221;xl&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_color=&#8221;#d1ae6d&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1754300440206{margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.om-macau.org%2Fen%2Fbooking-guide-and-ticket-information-2%2F||target:%20_blank|&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/whttps:\/\/www.om-macau.org\/en\/booking-guide-and-ticket-information-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #d1ae6d;\">Tickets Discount<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the season\u2019s closing concert, the Macao Orchestra offers three works by Beethoven varying in familiarity with our audiences. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":54574,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[],"tribe_events_cat":[337],"class_list":["post-54598","tribe_events","type-tribe_events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tribe_events_cat-tribute-to-beethoven","cat_tribute-to-beethoven"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.om-macau.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/54598","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.om-macau.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.om-macau.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/tribe_events"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.om-macau.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.om-macau.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/54598\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":54928,"href":"https:\/\/www.om-macau.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/54598\/revisions\/54928"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.om-macau.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/54574"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.om-macau.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54598"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.om-macau.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=54598"},{"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.om-macau.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events_cat?post=54598"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
