Description
In the stylish ambience of the Düsseldorf Opera Foyer, members of the Düsseldorf Symphony Orchestra explore known and unknown masterpieces of chamber music together with singers from the opera ensemble.

With the “Matinee Ravel” – based on the ballet evening “Soiree Ravel” by the Ballett am Rhein – the 2025 anniversary year marking Maurice Ravel's 150th birthday is also drawing to a close at the Deutsche Oper am Rhein.
With a chamber music concert in which the harp will take center stage, the three harpists of the Düsseldorf Symphony Orchestra will present the great French composer – and, of course, the audience – with an exquisite gift of familiar and newly discovered melodies. The program will include the “Mini Harp Concerto” “Introduction et Allegro” for flute, clarinet, harp, and string quartet, but also a version for two harps of the famous “Le tombeau de Couperin,” a sonatina for flute, violoncello, and harp, and the fairy tale music suite “Ma mère l'oye” (“Mother Goose”) for chamber orchestra will also be featured that morning. The program will be rounded off with an arrangement of the famous “Cinq melodies populaires Greques” for soprano (Anna Sophia Theil) and harp.
