There is a tradition around the world for orchestras to usher in the New Year with a themed concert featuring works by the family of musicians headed by Austrian composer Johann Strauss the Elder. On New Year’s Eve, Macao Orchestra is in concert with Swiss soprano Marysol Schalit, under the baton of Austrian conductor Thomas Rösner. The programme includes a few specially-selected but less well-known compositions, such as Johann Strauss the Elder’s Seufzer-Galopp, and his son Johann Strauss the Younger’s Furioso Polka. The performance lasts for approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes, including one interval.
