Starring Mexican tenor Rolando Villazón, the first concert of Staatskapelle Berlin during the FESTTAGE is dedicated to the composer Giuseppe Verdi. His overture to the opera »I Vespri Siciliani« has gained a greater awareness over time than the opera itself. In addition to music by Verdi works by Luciano Berio, who grappled with the work of his predecessor, Verdi, will be played as well as by Igor Stravinsky with his epic »Le sacre du printemps«. In each case, both opened new perspectives for composing in their time.
