QPO Presents: Strauss' Don Quixote

Immerse yourself in a rich evening of Richard Strauss with the Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Elias Grandy. The program opens with Strauss’ symphonic tone poem Don Quixote. Cellist Daniel Müller-Schott and QPO’s violist Giovanni Pasini bring the story to life as the voices of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, tracing their comic adventures and moments of touching lyricism.

After the intermission, the orchestra continues its Strauss journey with the impassioned Don Juan, a whirlwind of exuberance and tragedy, followed by the sumptuous Suite from Der Rosenkavalier. Filled with soaring waltzes and opulent orchestral color, the suite closes the evening in a spirit of romance, showcasing Strauss at his most dazzling.
