A sunny disposition and an innate disposition to communicate make Andrés Orozco-Estrada a Conductor loved equally by orchestras and spectators. The former because they work easily with him, the latter because they are immediately drawn in by his musical momentum. Born in Medellín, Colombia, he has been on the podium by orchestras throughout Europe, conducted Filarmonica della Scala on tours in Prague, Grafenegg, Bucharest, Dortmund, Luxembourg, Essen, Hannover and Munich, and returns this season to Teatro alla Scala.
The program is all about Hector Berlioz, creator of colorful and unexplored sonic places: the astonishing sound mixtures of his most famous and performed Sinfonia fantastica, achieved by pushing instruments to their technical limits; the rhythmic saltarello of Roman Carnival; and the delicate and lustrous lyricism of Les nuits d'été, six melodies for voice and orchestra performed for the first time in the season with the unique voice of German soprano Christiane Karg.
