Sir Mark conducts Weber’s overture to his final opera, Oberon, the scene set with the rising notes of the Elfl King’s magic horn. Elizabeth Watts, a firm favourite with the Hallé, sings a group of Nordic songs, including Grieg’s famous Solveig’s Song from Peer Gynt. Supernatural horns return in Mahler’s Fourth Symphony inspired by the collection of German folk poems, Des Knaben Wunderhorn (The boy’s magic horn). The symphony includes an extraordinary Scherzo, with a skeletal violinist leading a macabre dance of death, as well as an incandescent Adagio which leads to the magical Finale where the soprano evokes a child’s vision of Heaven.
The Bridgewater Hall applies booking fee of £2.50 per ticket to telephone and online transactions. No fee applies to tickets bought in person or purchased as part of a fixed or flexible subscription.
