Waltzes, Polkas and Roman Festivity: The Carnival in Rome at the Prinzregententheater
The Munich Radio Orchestra opens its Sunday concerts for the 2026/27 season with Johann Strauss' operetta The Carnival in Rome. On October 11, 2026, the Prinzregententheater will transform into a sparkling sound stage between Viennese waltz tradition, Italian flair, and turbulent operetta action.
Johann Strauss meets Roman lightness
The operetta premiered in 1873 combines amorous entanglements with danceable flair. Waltzes, polkas, and tarantellas shape the score and transport the audience from a Tyrolean mountain village right into the exuberant carnival festivities of Rome. The concert performance highlights the musical architecture of the work.
Patrick Hahn at the conductor's podium
The musical direction is taken by Patrick Hahn, the principal guest conductor of the Munich Radio Orchestra. With precise conducting, colorful orchestration, and smooth synchronization between stage, choir, and soloists, the characteristic sound of Strauss’ operetta unfolds.
Powerful voices and special stage moments
The soloist ensemble includes Miriam Kutrowatz, Lauren Urquhart, Cornel Frey, and Johannes Kammler. The performance is complemented by the Bavarian Radio Choir as well as speaker Nikolaus Habjan with his puppet Professor Julius Bienenzeisel. This creates a concert experience that combines puppet theater, vocal stage performance, and classic operetta magic.
Festive live atmosphere in the Prinzregententheater
The Prinzregententheater is known for its amphitheater-style auditorium and concert acoustics. An hour before the concert begins, an introduction offers additional insights into the work and its history. The actual concert evening starts at 19:00, with entry from 18:30.
