Farewell concert: Christian Thielemann conducts Mahler's 8th Symphony in the Semperoper
The Saxon State Chapel celebrates conductor Thielemann with a special performance
On Sunday, a very special concert took place in the Semperoper, in which the Saxon Staatskapelle Dresden adopted its long -time chief conductor Christian Thielemann. Under his leadership, the impressive 8th Symphony of Gustav Mahler was performed, a work that united the orchestra, soloists and choirs.
The importance of this concert goes beyond the musical performance. Thielemann, who has headed the Saxon State Chapel for years, will leave Dresden and become general music director of the Berlin State Opera under the Linden for the new season. With his move to Berlin he leaves a large gap in the Dresden music scene.
The state chapel was supported not only by the state opera choir, but also by other choirs and orchestras, who all contributed to making this performance an unforgettable experience. The variety of talented musicians who came together here reflected the appreciation and recognition for Thielemann's work.
Thielemann's contract in Dresden ends this summer, but his influence on the music world and especially on the Saxon State Chapel will have a long time. With his passion and commitment, he has led the orchestra to new heights and his legacy will continue to be felt in the concert halls in the future.
