Viennese Christmas Spectacular by Candlelight – Fri 30th Nov, Paisley Abbey, Glasgow

Wednesday 30 November, 2022

Tchaikovsky’s elegant Nutcracker Suite leads on from Brahms’ serious Hungarian Dance No.5, before Strauss II introduces us to the boundless exuberance of the Polish March in his Trisch-Trasch Polka. In the concert’s penultimate work Tchaikovsky transports the evening to the magical halls of snowy Tsarist Russia with a regal waltz from his ballet Sleeping Beauty. The evening reaches its climax with the famous Blue Danube Waltz, not only proving the crowning jewel of a fabulous night’s worth of music, but the coronation of Johann Strauss II as the master of the Viennese waltz.

Programme to include:

Strauss – Die Fledermaus Overture
Strauss – Trisch-trasch polka
Tchaikovsky – Sleeping Beauty Waltz
Brahms – Hungarian Dance No. 5
Tchaikovsky – Nutcracker Suite
