SUMMARY:Melbourne Symphony Orchestra: Ryman Healthcare Season Opening Gala: Mahler's Resurrection Symphony
DESCRIPTION:Season 2025 opens with one of the greatest symphonies ever written: Mahler’s monumental Symphony No.2. \n\n\n\n\nWhen he started writing in 1888\, the then-28-year-old Mahler faced a series of intense existential questions. “Why have you lived? Why have you suffered? Is it all some huge\, awful joke? We have to answer these questions somehow if we are to go on living – indeed\, even if we are only to go on dying!” \nBelieving in the symphony’s potential to embody an entire world\, Mahler explored these questions in a thrilling work featuring a vast orchestra alongside chorus and soloists. \nIn the expansive first movement\, Mahler comes head to head with death in a furious funeral march\, while a lilting folk dance and searching scenes of nostalgia and mourning comprise the following three movements. An epic choral finale culminates in a transcendent\, life-affirming conclusion – recently featured in Bradley Cooper’s popular film Maestro. \nThe Resurrection Symphony is a breath-taking hymn to redemption\, the afterlife and the resilience of the human spirit. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to hear Mahler’s masterpiece under the charismatic direction of MSO’s Chief Conductor Jaime Martín. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMSO – Jaime Martín Conductor\n\n\nEleanor Lyons Soprano\n\n\nCatriona Morison Mezzo-soprano\n\n\nMSO Chorus – Warren Trevelyan-Jones Chorus director\n\n\n\n27 February 7.30 and 1 March 7.30\n\n\n\n\nHamer Hall \nTICKETS: $68.85 – $93

SUMMARY:Melbourne Symphony Orchestra: Beethoven Festival\, Ryman Healthcare Spring Gala: Beethoven's Ninth
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the grand finale of our Beethoven Festival – featuring some of Australia’s best opera singers\, the MSO Chorus\, and a brand new MSO commission – under the baton of Chief Conductor Jaime Martín. \n\n\n\n\nKnown for his exceptional choral music\, the title of Sir James MacMillan’s Concerto for Orchestra is something of an enigma\, in that a concerto is conventionally written for a solo instrument and orchestra\, rather than for orchestra and… orchestra. Join us in cracking the code of this newly commissioned work from one of the UK’s most sought-after composers. \nAfter eight symphonies\, Beethoven took his Ninth to a whole new level by composing the biggest symphony in existence – a beast of a work depicting the triumphant union of all mankind. Almost entirely deaf by this point\, this landmark feat for choir and orchestra is best known for its epic finale ­­of Ode to Joy. A star-studded line-up of soloists join the MSO and MSO Chorus for this rousing performance of the great choral symphony. \n\n\n\nMelbourne Symphony Orchestra\nJaime Martín Conductor\n\n\nLauren Fagan Soprano; Michaela Schuster Alto; Stuart Skelton Tenor; Sam Dale Johnson Bass\n\n\nMSO Chorus\, Warren Trevelyan-Jones Chorus Director\n\n\nAuslan Choir\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThursday 28 Nov 7:30 PM; Friday 29 Nov 7:30 PM; Saturday 30 Nov 2:00 PM\n\n\nRunning Time 2 hours (including interval \nArts Centre Melbourne\, Hamer Hall \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTICKETS: Standard $84.00 – $142.00; Concession $79.00 – $137.00*\n\n\nGroup Standard 10+ $71.40 – $120.70; Group Concession 10+ $67.15 – $116.45*\n\n*Concession prices apply to pensioners\, full-time students\, under-18s and Health Care cardholders.

SUMMARY:Melbourne Symphony Orchestra: Beethoven Festival\, Ryman Healthcare Spring Gala: Beethoven's Ninth
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the grand finale of our Beethoven Festival – featuring some of Australia’s best opera singers\, the MSO Chorus\, and a brand new MSO commission – under the baton of Chief Conductor Jaime Martín. \n\n\n\n\nKnown for his exceptional choral music\, the title of Sir James MacMillan’s Concerto for Orchestra is something of an enigma\, in that a concerto is conventionally written for a solo instrument and orchestra\, rather than for orchestra and… orchestra. Join us in cracking the code of this newly commissioned work from one of the UK’s most sought-after composers. \nAfter eight symphonies\, Beethoven took his Ninth to a whole new level by composing the biggest symphony in existence – a beast of a work depicting the triumphant union of all mankind.

SUMMARY:Melbourne Symphony Orchestra: Beethoven Festival: Symphonies 7 & 8
DESCRIPTION:Avoid peak hour with a quick post-work Beethoven fix at this early-evening concert of his energetic and playful Seventh and Eighth symphonies. \n\n\n\n\nThe Seventh gathers momentum as it bounds along with great energy. Similar to the Sixth\, it has slight tinge of the pastoral\, though the mood is darker and punchier than its predecessor. After its premiere in 1813\, the crowd demanded to hear the second movement again – but you’ll only need to hear it once to be humming its theme on the tram home. \nIn 1812 when he was almost completely deaf\, Beethoven composed his Eighth Symphony\, which has been described quite brilliantly as one of the ‘shortest\, weirdest\, and most compelling symphonies of the 19th Century’ (The Guardian). What appears on the surface as light-hearted playfulness is in reality a radical work that challenged the idea of the symphony as a genre. It also contains one of music’s best jokes in the second movement\, where he imitates his friend’s new invention – the metronome. \n\n\n\n\nMonday 25 November 6:30 PM\n\n\nRunning Time1 hour (no interval) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArts Centre Melbourne\, Hamer Hall\n\nTICKETS: Standard $79.00 – $120.00; Concession $74.00 – $115.00\n\nGroups (10 or more) \n\nStandard $67.15 – $102.00\n\n\nConcession $62.90 – $97.75

SUMMARY:Melbourne Symphony Orchestra: Beethoven Festival: Symphonies 2 & 5
DESCRIPTION:Join the MSO and Jaime Martín for Beethoven’s Second and Fifth symphonies in this concert of musical contrasts. \n\n\n\n\nThe Second Symphony\, with its dramatic opening and light-speed strings\, has one foot in the classical era\, and one in the romantic. With its captivating melodies and good cheer\, it’s hard to contemplate that while writing this\, Beethoven’s deafness was becoming more profound\, and he was in the darkest moments of his life. \nThe first eight notes of Beethoven’s famous Fifth Symphony have come to define it – referenced constantly in popular culture\, they’re also a subject of hot discussion in musical circles. Some consider them the sound of fate knocking at Beethoven’s door\, others see them as a secret\, coded message in support of the French revolution\, and others still are content simply to argue about how they should be played. In any case\, beyond the gateway of this famous opening lies an awe-inspiring symphony of epic proportions. \n\n\n\n\nThursday 21 November 7:30 PM\n\n\nRunning Time1 hour 30 minutes (including interval) Ats Centre Melbourne\, Hamer Hall \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTICKETS: Standard $81.00 – $131.00; Concession* $76.00 – $126.00\n\nGroups (10 or more) \n\nStandard $68.85 – $111.35; Concession* $64.60 – $107.10
