The New Year’s Concert from Vienna with the Wiener Philharmoniker is an unmissable event for around fifty million people around the world. Proposed by Rai Cultura tomorrow at 1.30 pm on Rai 2 and at 8 pm on Rai 5, the exciting musical performance of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra will be conducted for the seventh time by Riccardo Muti, again in the setting of the Golden Hall of the Musikverein of Vienna. The artistic collaboration with the maestro of Apulian origins began in 1971 and since then Muti has conducted over 500 concerts with the Orchestra, including six New Year’s Eve events, commemorative performances, annual performances at the Salzburg Festival, live shows and tours, as well as numerous opera productions.
2025 marks the two hundredth anniversary of the birth of Johann Strauss fils and, to commemorate this important anniversary, the Vienna Philharmonic will perform a selection of works by the famous Austrian composer. As well as classic songs that are healthy bearers of peace and brotherhood in the world. And what is probably the most famous concert in the world is broadcast to viewers in over ninety countries. To attend the live concert in Vienna requires a bit of luck, because the demand for tickets is such that the allocation takes place by drawing lots on the website of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. Alternatively, we go to the Stephansplatz of the Austrian capital, which represents one of the stations of the New Year’s Eve Route, where a live open air is broadcast.
