Our Baden-Baden grand finale is coming! After 13 years, the Berliner Philharmoniker makes one last trip to the spa town in the Black Forest for the 2025 Easter Festival. The orchestra’s luggage includes Puccini’s opera Madama Butterfly and Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, both of which Kirill Petrenko conducts, as well as Strauss’ Alpine Symphony, which they play with Klaus Mäkelä. Also on the programme: a symphony concert featuring music by Bartók and Beethoven, conducted by Jakub Hrůša, with soloist and artist in residence Seong-Jin Cho. And as always, there will be plenty of chamber music and a diverse education programme.
