The Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra (MPO) will present six masterpieces of enduring fame and popularity in a concert themed Classical Treasures on Saturday, 5 April 2025 at 8.00 pm at Dewan Filharmonik PETRONAS (DFP), KLCC.
Under the baton of Resident Conductor Gerard Salonga, enjoy bold rhythms, memorable melodies, enchanting harmonies and romantic gestures abound with the MPO.
The concert will open with Rossini’s Overture of The Barber of Seville, ranks as one of the most frequently performed operas of any kind. Next comes Chopin’s Nocturne in E flat, a simple yet elegant work with an emotional appeal.
Local singer Datuk Syafinaz Selamat will take centrestage to deliver an excerpt from Gounod’s Romeo And Juliet opera with the MPO. Gounod’s version has endured in terms of longevity and popularity. “Ah! Je veux vivre” is the brilliant piece of vocalization known as Juliet’s waltz that takes place early in the opera.
Syafinaz will next sing “Der Hölle Rache” taken from Mozart’s The Magic Flute. This opera was a tremendous success when it was first performed in Vienna in 1791 and has remained so ever since. “Der Hölle Rache” is one of the opera’s most spectacular showpieces. Vocal acrobatics take the soprano to stratospheric heights.
The programme will close Liszt’s passionate Hungarian Rhapsody No.2 and Beethoven’s Symphony No.7 with its exhilarating finale.
Be part of an extravaganza of classical gems where every beat will resonate a different story!
