Description

For the first time in history one of the world’s leading opera houses provides the stage for a unique symphonic rock show.

The Best songs of Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, U2, Queen, AC/DC

Symphonic orchestras have quite often already been performing light instrumental versions of rock music. Rock the Opera conductor Friedemann Riehle - in collaboration with classical music composers - draws up new authentic and powerful renditions which keep the genius of the originals alive while also incorporating the splendid and colorful sound of one of Europe’s top orchestras.

A group of exceptionally talented vocalists and a drummer, who performed with Frank Zappa, guarantee an evening to remember. With tremendous success the show has been presented in many European capitals and is now, for the first time, coming to Vienna.

The absolute highlights of the programme are pieces like Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Echoes, Comfortably Numb, Kashmir, Stairway to Heaven, We Are the Champions, A Kind of Magic, with many others included. Great music participates in a spectacular confrontation. The audience will discover a new dimension of rock.
