The New Year’s Concert is the traditional concert held on January 1 each year at the La Fenice Opera House.
In keeping with tradition, the La Fenice New Year’s Concert features a musical program in two parts. The first part is exclusively for orchestra and the second part dedicated to melodrama, with a roundup of arias, duets and choral passages interpreted by outstanding soloists and the La Fenice Theater Chorus. Each year the Concert closes with two celebrated pages by Giuseppe Verdi, cornerstones of Italy’s musical heritage: the chorus “Va’ pensiero sull’ali dorate” from Nabucco and the festive toast “Libiam ne’ lieti calici” from La traviata.
For the 2023 edition, the Conductor is Britain’s Daniel Harding, the Chorus Master is Alfonso Caiani, while the soprano is Federica Lombardi and the tenor is Freddie De Tommaso.
