Info for Sommernachtskonzert 2023 / Summer Night Concert 2023

The Summer Night Concert of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra is one of the most visited classical music concerts of all, as it takes place in the festively illuminated park of Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna in front of 100,000 visitors.

In 2023, the Latvian mezzo-soprano Elina Garanča will be the star soloist for the first time, and for the first time Yannick Nézet-Séguin will be at the podium of the Vienna Philharmonic, who will take the audience to France with a varied programme this year: The concert opens with two classics by Georges Bizet: the Orchestral Suite No. 1 with themes from his famous opera "Carmen" and the famous "Habanera" aria from "Carmen", sung by Elina Garanča.

The piece "D'un matin de printemps" by the French composer Lili Boulanger, the first female winner of the prestigious "Prix de Rome" of the Paris Conservatoire, who died tragically at the age of only 24 but nevertheless left behind 50 works, is about a spring morning.

The Vienna Philharmonic will perform Hector Berlioz's overture "Le Corsaire" and Maurice Ravel's Suite No. 1 from "Daphnis and Chloe", as well as the famous "Bolero" as the concert's crowning finale.

Elina Garanča will perform three arias from Georges Bizet's "Carmen", Charles Gounod's "Sapho" and Camille Saint-Saëns' "Samson et Dalila" as the star soloist.
