Programme

Overview

A New Year concert by the Vienna Waltz Orchestra led by violinist-conductor Chen Lei, with a soprano and a tenor, billed as a programme of Strauss waltzes and polkas, Mozart, operetta excerpts and Chinese classics.

The listing presents the 2027 New Year concert of the Vienna Waltz Orchestra, which it says has held an annual New Year's Eve and New Year concert in Vienna for 25 years in a row. The programme is described as a dozen or so works, including Strauss waltzes and polkas, Mozart movements and classic Chinese pieces, with The Blue Danube among them, as well as operetta excerpts, and is described as suitable for the whole family.

The orchestra is led by Chen Lei, introduced as its principal violinist, conductor and host and as its artistic director, a Chinese-born violinist living in Europe and a lifelong concertmaster of the Bruckner Orchestra Linz. The soloists are the soprano Laola Aoliweiya Sipengge and the tenor Geqimu Beilisha; the poster prints their names only in Chinese. The listing says the soprano was born in Berlin and studied in Vienna, and that the tenor holds a master's degree in opera from the Vienna music university.

The printed programme includes Robert Stolz's Vienna Blessing March, a duet from Lehar's The Count of Luxembourg, Love Song Waltz, Telephone Polka, a duet from The Gypsy Baron, Express Train Polka by Eduard Strauss, an excerpt from Mozart's Don Giovanni and The Blue Danube Waltz, among other numbers. The listing says the pieces and their order are subject to the live performance.
