SEAT Presents VIENNA NIGHTS – Music for the New Year

MEO Arena and the Metropolitan invite you to step into 2015 on the right foot, to the sound of Strauss II’s elegant waltzes, under the spell of some of the most beautiful excerpts from Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake, wrapped in the overtures from celebrated operas by Rossini and Verdi. This is how we will fulfil a tradition: welcoming the start of a new year with chords and melody, presaging harmony and a new boost for the coming future. Any excuse is good for listening to good music, but something special happens when this is accompanied by a genuine spirit of sharing and celebration. Without pomp or pretence, Maestro Sebastian Perlowski does the honours with his talent and friendliness.
