New Year’s Eve Programm Teatro del Maggio Florence
6.00 pm • New Year’s Eve Concert
Ludwig van Beethoven • Symphony No. 9 in D minor op. 125 for soloists, choir and orchestra
Beethoven’s last symphony, Symphony No. 9 in D minor op. 125 “Corale” is a highlight in music history.
Beethoven had long tried to set Friedrich Schiller’s Ode to Joy to music in order to send the message of freedom and brotherhood out into the world.
In 1824 the 9th symphony was premiered in Vienna. Beethoven himself was already deaf at this point and could no longer conduct the orchestra.
The 9th symphony was immediately hailed as an absolute masterpiece. In the fourth movement, the singing is added to the symphonic instrumentation for the first time. The symphony ends with the universal message of brotherhood sung by the soloists and chorus in the final movement.

Important notes
This trip is very popular as a special Christmas present and therefore quickly sold out. Please make a reservation with a minimum of two months’ lead time, otherwise, tickets for the Teatro del Maggio Scala will be fully booked. The theatre reserves the right to postpone dates and performances or to change the cast. We do not take responsibility for this.
The city tour takes place in all weather and we recommend comfortable footwear. If you would like to visit the cathedral from the inside, please indicate this when booking so that we can get the tickets in time. Critical to impossible to get tickets short-term for the Uffizi. We, therefore, need to know at an early stage whether you are interested in further tours in Florence.
