Lorenzo Viotti has canceled his participation in the first two concerts of the Vienna Philharmonic at the Salzburg Festival due to acute illness.
He will be replaced by Esa-Pekka Salonen, with a slightly altered program. In the first half of the programme, Igor Stravinsky’s opera-oratorio Oedipus Rex will be performed as previously announced. In the second half of the concerts, Esa-Pekka Salonen will conduct Hector Berlioz’ Symphonie fantastique instead of Piotr Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 4.
Esa-Pekka Salonen also conducts the opera new production One Morning Turns Into An Eternity.
