Christmas gala: Het Zwanenmeer - Benjamin Wenzelberg

Winter coziness and festive warmth: those are the most important ingredients of the Christmas gala of the Antwerp Symphony Orchestra in the Koningin Elisabethzaal, an annual tradition to look forward to for a long time. Central to the program is Het Zwanenmeer van Peter Iljitsj Tsjajkovski, an undisputed Christmas classic. Even without dancers on stage, you see the graceful movements with your eyes closed. The enchanting piece forms the heart of a grand symphonic concert full of musical pearls, including Humperdinck’s fairy tale opera Hänsel und Gretel. Nestled in the soft seats of the Koningin Elisabethzaal and let yourself be carried away by music that invites you to enjoy and experience together.
