Vienna, City of Dreams

The operettas of the Strauss family, Franz Lehár, Emmerich Kálmán and Robert Stolz were the popular music of their day, and the melodies they created still touch the hearts of all who hear them, be it for the first or the hundredth time.

Classical Encounters are delighted to return to the Gatehouse with a musical tribute to Vienna’s Golden Age, featuring songs from Die Fledermaus, The Merry Widow, The Count of Luxembourg, The Land of Smiles, The Opera Ball, The Gypsy Princess, White Horse Inn, The Student Prince and many more.

A Viennese whirl of glorious melodies, glamorous gowns and glittering ballrooms, with opera singers Sally-Ann Shepherdson and Alinka Kozari (sopranos), Cameron Rolls (tenor), Trevor Alexander (baritone) and Peter Crockford (piano).

“I am not a fan of opera normally, but I really loved it – all the cast were tremendous!”

“Described, quite rightly, as the most delightful Musical Evening we have ever had… the delightful programme; beautiful voices and superb presentation, to such expertise in accompaniment. What an evening to remember for all time.”
