New Year's Eve Concert

Spanish Night

A Spanish evening featuring singing, drama, and fun – and the lyric tenor of our time, Piotr Beczała, who has delighted Baden-Baden audiences in opera and concerts between his appearances in Vienna, New York, and Milan. At Beczała's side, a "mezzo sensation": Aigul Akhmetshina, the Polina of our Easter Festival Queen of Spades in 2022 and today’s hottest Carmen. She had the audience of the New York Met at her feet, and we too have fallen for her dark timbre – join us for an especially dazzling celebration of the New Year!
