NZSO Classical Hit

This very special concert is a fond \"welcome back\" to one of our longest serving directors. Fresh from engagements across Europe, America and Asia, our brilliant Music Director Emeritus James Judd returns to the NZSO for this evening of classical hits. To mark such an auspicious occasion we are bringing you some of classical music\'s greatest moments. Hear a selection of your favourite melodies performed live by your dedicated national orchestra. Rossini\'s infectious William Tell Overture gallops along with an energy that will get toes tappping. The chase leads us into Johan Strauss II\'s iconic Blue Danube Waltz. A confectionary of sound, this dance still enchants audiences as the glitter and charm of Vienna comes to life. Adding to the fun is a blast of Wagner in his tremendous Ride of the Valkyries. A sparkling evening of assorted dances and glorious displays of orchestral splendour!
