New Year Celebration | Vienna of the Habsburg Dynasty

Travel with us back to Vienna, Europe's centre of music, art and culture during the Austro-Hungarian Habsburg dynasty. Debuting at the Bay Opera of Shenzhen, the HK Phil performs waltzes, marches and polkas by the King of Waltz, Johann Strauss and family, alongside the ever-popular Hungarian Dances of Brahms and the brilliant Hungarian Rhapsodies by Liszt. Conductor Gergely Madaras, a native Hungarian who studied composition in Budapest and conducting in Vienna, will lead this jubilant musical journey between the two great capitals. With his unique connection to both traditions, he is the perfect guide for an evening of elegance, joy, and charm.
