During the concert, for the first time, Hanoi Concert also introduced to the audience the German composer Richard Wagner, famous for his great operas. He is one of the most influential composers in the history of classical music, laying the foundation for modern music and inspiring many composers of the 20th century.
The Overture from Richard Wagner's Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg is one of the most classic operas. The Overture contains majestic melodies and is a tribute to German art and culture.
This piece is considered very difficult and challenging for the orchestra, and is rarely performed in Vietnam. Therefore, at the 2025 New Year Concert , this piece brought very memorable emotions to the audience who love classical music.
