The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra takes the Royal & Derngate stage once more, under the baton of “natural melodist” (Der Tagesspiegel) Antonello Manacorda.

Opening with the instantly recognisable overture from Mozart's enchanting opera The Magic Flute, let the joyful energy and sprightly melodies transport you to a world of fantasy and adventure, before being swept away by the powerful emotions of Tchaikovsky's final masterpiece.
