Teatro Tivoli BBVA Santo António · Lisbon

The Orquestra Metropolitana de Lisboa, conducted by Pedro Neves, performs Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, which ends in the famous Ode to Joy, alongside Eurico Carrapatoso's A Canção da Urze and the world premiere of Alexêi Tolpygo's Três Poemas Portugueses.

Full details

When it premiered in Vienna in 1824, the Choral Symphony revealed an unprecedented formal complexity, an orchestration that opened new creative horizons, and artistic and ideological premises that profoundly marked the entire symphonic production of the nineteenth century. Even today, it has a monumental importance. At the end, it includes the famous Ode to Joy, a free adaptation of a poem by Friedrich Schiller that exalts the values of freedom and fraternity. For the value of its message, it became the anthem of the Council of Europe (1972) and of the European Union (1985). In this programme, it appears alongside two other works in which poetry likewise plays a prominent role. Eurico Carrapatoso paid homage to Miguel Torga in A Canção da Urze. In an absolute premiere, Alexêi Tolpygo gives voice to Florbela Espanca, Álvaro de Campos and Mário de Sá-Carneiro. Programme. Eurico Carrapatoso A Canção da Urze (Homage to Miguel Torga). Alexêi Tolpygo Três Poemas Portugueses (premiere work). L. v. Beethoven Symphony No. 9, Choral. EUNIC, European Union National Institutes for Culture. Presidency of the Council of the EU (Ireland). Representation of the European Commission in Portugal. Technical sheet: Participatory Choir of the Metropolitana. Orquestra Metropolitana de Lisboa. Andrea Conangla – Soprano.

Show original (Portuguese)

Quando foi estreada em Viena, em 1824, a Sinfonia Coral revelou uma complexidade formal sem precedentes, uma orquestração que abria novos horizontes criativos e pressupostos artísticos e ideológicos que marcaram profundamente toda a produção sinfónica do século XIX. Ainda hoje, tem uma importância monumental. No final, inclui o célebre Hino à Alegria ; adaptação livre de um poema de Friedrich Schiller que exalta os valores da liberdade e da fraternidade. Pelo valor da mensagem, tornou-se hino do Conselho da Europa (1972) e da União Europeia (1985). Neste programa, surge ao lado de duas outras obras nas quais a poesia assume igualmente um papel de destaque. Eurico Carrapatoso homenageou Miguel Torga n’ A Canção da Urze . Em estreia absoluta, Alexêi Tolpygo dá voz a Florbela Espanca, Álvaro de Campos e Mário de Sá-Carneiro. Programa. Eurico Carrapatoso A Canção da Urze (Homenagem a Miguel Torga).
