Opera North Viennese Whirl at Huddersfield Town Hall.
The Orchestra of Opera North, Viennese Whirl, at Huddersfield Town Hall, whisked the audience off down the Danube in the company of guest soprano Jennifer France and conductor Christoph Altstaedt. The Blue Danube, The Radetzky March and other Strauss family essentials complement a spirited selection of waltzes, polkas and galops from Vienna and beyond, including ‘Je veux vivre’ from Gounod’s Roméo et Juliette; the wonderfully evocative Copenhagen Steam Railway by ‘Strauss of the North’ Hans Christian Lumbye; Carl Michael Ziehrer’s magical Night Owl Waltz, and many more. 30 December 2022.
