The perfect pick-me-up for a Sunday afternoon in early January, offering the glitz and glamour of Vienna right here in Birmingham!
Vienna... as sweet as a slice of Sachertorte and as sparkling as a glass of champagne. It simply wouldn’t be New Year without elegant waltzes, playful polkas, and good old-fashioned operetta romance. So let the CBSO, soprano Anna Devin and maestro Christoph Alstaedt whirl you into a new year feeling romanced, revitalised and ready for 2023!
