Ukrainian National Opera Orchestra Christmas Special Classics

　This year, that "special day" will return! A large orchestra, a large chorus, and four opera singers will fill the entire stage for a big concert filled with "overflowing music" and "moving emotions"! The situation in Ukraine has been tense since February 2022. Despite the difficult situation, the Ukrainian National Opera resumed its performances three months later in May with an indomitable spirit. This is the first Christmas concert in two years by the Orchestra of the National Opera of Ukraine, which never loses its routine and continues to perform looking forward, no matter what the circumstances.
　As we enter the Christmas season and the end of the year approaches, I still want to hear Handel's "Messiah," the gently resonant "Ave Maria," and Beethoven's "Ninth Symphony. In particular, "Hallelujah Chorus" and "Ode to Joy" are such staples of December that I find myself thinking, "I want to hear that melody right away! I want to hear that melody right away! This "Special Day" is the fulfillment of a greedy wish to hear all of these at once. The lineup also includes a selection of masterpieces from the theater's repertoire, such as the overture to Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro" and "Nobody Must Sleep" from Puccini's opera "Turandot. Even beginners of classical music will be fascinated by the overwhelming music and many melodies they have heard somewhere before. Of course, classical music lovers will also find the music to be a great listening experience. The profound and colorful sound and the performance full of singing spirit are only possible at a prestigious opera house. The dramatic and delicate tone nurtured in opera and ballet will give you the best of winter at a high level. The "Christmas Special Classics" features the traditional repertoire that has been handed down over the years, as well as a succession of must-hear classics at this time of year. The finale, which closes with the heart-pounding harmonies of bliss and the magnificent "Ode to Joy," will bring you a moving Christmas experience!
