The Concert
Kick-start your evening with a 60-minute Half Six Fix concert. Introduced by the performers, with screens in the hall to bring you closer to the action.
Schubert’s Die Zauberharfe was one of his melodramas, the text of which was sadly lost. He also wrote incidental music, including an overture for a play called Rosamunde (also lost). Partly due to so much getting mislaid, the cheerfully bustling overture to Zauberharfe was known as ‘Rosamunde’ for decades.
Sergei Prokofiev’s Second Symphony, the first major work he completed after leaving Russia, is a mix of whirling energy and beguiling inventiveness. The first movement is forceful with an edge-of-the-seat intensity. The second takes a gentle theme through a series of intricate variations.
