Rossini, Strauss, Spontini, and Beethoven: The MKO opens the new season

On Thursday, October 15, 2026, the Munich Chamber Orchestra will kick off its subscription concert series at the Prinzregententheater. Under the title Goldscheider, Onofri, and the MKO, resonant orchestral music, virtuosic horn playing, and historically rich works come together.

A concert evening between operatic brilliance and symphonic energy

Gioachino Rossini's overture to William Tell sets the evening in motion with dramatic tension and vibrant orchestral colors. The music combines lyrical calm, precise rhythmic synchronization, and the famous, energetic gallop into a powerful opening.

Ben Goldscheider interprets Richard Strauss

In Richard Strauss's Horn Concerto No. 1 in E-flat major, op. 11, the British hornist Ben Goldscheider takes center stage. The work demands both warm, glowing cantilenas and brilliant agility from the soloist. In collaboration with the MKO, a finely balanced dialogue emerges between the solo instrument and the chamber orchestra.

Enrico Onofri at the conductor's podium

Enrico Onofri conducts. His musical direction leads through a program that connects Italian opera tradition, French-influenced sound worlds, and classical-romantic symphonics. Gaspare Spontini’s overture to Olympie paves the way for Ludwig van Beethoven's Seventh Symphony.

Beethoven's Seventh as a powerful highlight

Beethoven's Symphony No. 7 in A major, op. 92, thrives on rhythmic pulse, clear orchestration, and exceptional inner movement. The Munich Chamber Orchestra brings this music to life in the historic concert hall with focused ensemble sound and high interpretive precision.

Live atmosphere in the Prinzregententheater

The Prinzregententheater provides the fitting setting for an evening of concerts between festive operatic tone, soloist virtuosity, and symphonic grandeur. Audience mood ranges from tense attention in the quiet passages to the exhilarating energy of the Beethoven finale.

Conclusion: A season opener with great musical breadth

The first MKO subscription concert of the 2026/2027 season combines Rossini, Strauss, Spontini, and Beethoven into a dramatically strong classical evening. Visitors can experience Ben Goldscheider on horn, Enrico Onofri conducting, and the Munich Chamber Orchestra in a program full of contrasts. Those who want to experience orchestral sound, historical sound language, and intense stage performance live should mark this evening at the Prinzregententheater.
