On New Year's Eve 2022, the Berliner Philharmoniker and chief conductor Kirill Petrenko welcome a very special guest: Star tenor Jonas Kaufmann joins in for a rousing Italian and Russian programme. Save the date for our live transmission of "Gala from Berlin 2022". Sonorous foundation, radiant high notes, intelligent shaping: all this makes Jonas Kaufmann a leading singer worldwide. The programme includes famous preludes from Italian opera, Piotr Tchaikovsky's rapturous Capriccio Italien and the most beautiful pieces from Sergei Prokofiev's ballet Romeo and Juliet with its blend of brilliance and striking expressiveness.

Festspielhaus Baden-Baden: Tchaikovsky: Pique Dame
The Festspielhaus Baden-Baden hosts the Easter Festival 2022 as a great return of the Live Opera with Tchaikovsky´s classic Pique Dame. The sets and cast of this production set standards and compete with cinema set design. Together for the first time, Kirill Petrenko and the Berliner Philharmoniker perform an opera production. Pique Dame was written during probably the most difficult period in Tchaikovsky´s life, when he himself was already beginning to sense how hard he would have to work for his own happiness. The very self-critical composer considered it to be his best opera. Now it is Kirill Petrenko together with Moshe Leiser and Patrice Caurier who are reshuffling the cards.
"Pique Dame will hardly be seen with a better cast of singers at the moment."
