Europakonzert 2009 from Napoli

With the “Europa Konzert”, the Berliner Philharmoniker celebrate the anniversary of their foundation in 1882. Performing each year in another European city, 2009 the concert took place in Naples in Southern Italy. Together with the charismatic conductor Riccardo Muti and Violeta Urmana, one of the leading sopranos of the Italian opera, they present the overture of Verdi’s magnificent opera “La forza del destino” and “La canzone dei ricordi” by Giuseppe Martucci, who died in Naples. Schubert’s “Great Symphony” completes this fantastic concert at the formidable Teatro San Carlo.
