CBSO Viennese New Year Gala

They call Vienna the city of dreams, and it wouldn’t be New Year without the music of Johann Strauss and friends. There’ll be elegant waltzes, playful polkas, and operetta romance from soprano Jennifer France. So let the CBSO and maestro Stephen Bell whirl you back to a more glamorous age, as we raise a glass to the start of another great year of music. Prosit!

Jennifer France – Soprano
