Vienna Johann Strauss Concert Gala
It is a guarantee for a fresh attitude to life, vitality and sensuality: the "Vienna Johann Strauss Concert Gala". Since 1996, the Austrian export hit - the original with Kendlinger's K&K Philharmonic Orchestra - has captivated more than 1.5 million fans in 19 European countries - a musical fountain of youth that even kings and emperors would enjoy - cult status included!
In 1996, Matthias Georg Kendlinger, founder of the K&K Philharmonic, the K&K Ballet and the K&K Opera Chorus, launched this tour - one of the most successful in music history with well over a million visitors to date. Together with his ensembles, he has earned bravos and standing ovations at concert halls in Madrid, Zurich, Oslo, Paris, Berlin and the Vienna Musikverein, among others. Kendlinger puts together a new program every year, leads the rehearsals and can often be seen conducting. His son Max Kendlinger, Taras Lenko and Ihor Muravyov take turns conducting.
Kendlinger's K&K Ballet can also be seen in selected cities - co-founded by the unforgettable Viennese choreographer Gerlinde Dill, who choreographed the world-famous New Year's Concert of the Vienna Philharmonic for over two decades. From 2009 to 2020, Viktor Litvinov, former ballet master of the Kiev State Opera, followed in her footsteps. The ballet master for this year's tour will once again be dancer and choreographer Marianna Stankevych.
In addition to the unmistakable evergreens of the Strauss dynasty, the program traditionally also includes many rarities. Refreshing humor is also a trademark of this concert series. Of course, you can also look forward to the Danube Waltz and the obligatory encore Radetzky March.
