At the Philharmonie, the season opening of the Orchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg heralds the end of summer, but portends other pleasures. In its first concert of the new season, the orchestra is joined by soprano Diana Damrau, whose glowing timbre illuminates songs by Richard Strauss. Igor Stravinsky’s ballet music The Firebird, which the composer wrote at the age of only 18, boasts an orchestration already replete with the colourful imagination so characteristic of Stravinsky. The chief conductor of the OPL, Gustavo Gimeno, leads the orchestra and also offers an outlook on the coming season during an artist talk at the Grand Auditorium at 19:15.
