Programme
Daniil Trifonov's magic is hard to resist: The fact that his pianistic resources are almost limitless is unmistakable. He also surprises his audience time and again with his intense expressiveness and ability to reinterpret music. Trifonov is therefore definitely one of the most exciting pianists of our time. For his concert evening in May 2025, the pianist will bring a programme to the Alte Oper that is tailor-made for his impressive and sensitive interpretations. In addition to piano sonatas by Samuel Barber and Pyotr Tchaikovsky, he will also be focussing on the genre of dance on this evening: Although Chopin's waltzes are not really danceable, the time signature and character of the music unmistakably point to this. Tchaikovsky's ballet music for ‘Sleeping Beauty’, on the other hand, was written especially for dance - ballerinas, dancers and stage sets pass before your inner eye as you listen.
