The form is British, the content this time Italian, or: London meets Verona. Just as the famous London Proms concerts are rounded off with a "Last Night" – one of the most beautiful musical and social traditions of the United Kingdom – the concert season of the Deutsche Philharmonie Merck is also crowned with such a "Last Night of the Season." Whether "Pomp and Circumstance" or "Rule Britannia," all the good old acquaintances find their place here. At the same time, Italian opera is celebrated: In the picturesque castle park of Jagdschloss Kranichstein, Jihyun Cecilia Lee, Modestas Sedlevicius, and Matthew Vickers will slip into popular opera roles and present the emotional heart pieces from the works of the great masters Gioachino Rossini, Giuseppe Verdi, and Giacomo Puccini. This open-air evening of a special kind will captivate an audience that knows how to celebrate – with picnic baskets, champagne flutes, and plenty of good cheer.
