Description

Mahler’s colossal symphony of life, death and resurrection, performed live in the Royal Albert Hall

A man stands alone at the grave of a friend. Shattered by grief, he cries out in sorrow and takes the first step on an odyssey that will take him to the end of the world – and beyond.

This is Gustav Mahler’s ‘Resurrection’ Symphony, and if it sounds epic on paper, just wait till you hear it live. It’s quite simply overwhelming – and if you only know it from recordings, you really haven’t heard it all. It could have been written for the Royal Albert Hall, so prepare yourself for the musical adventure of a lifetime, as RPO Music Director Vasily Petrenko conducts two outstanding singers and the mighty Philharmonia Chorus in music to shake the heavens – plus a haunting curtain-raiser from Arvo Pärt.

Please note, there will be no interval in this performance.

“The conductor’s punctilious and unshowy direction, especially in this big space, forced you to lean in and really pick out the details.”

“A finely crafted and spiritually uplifting performance.”
