This year, the Lucerne festival at Easter opens with a cross-generational summit meeting as Claudio Abbado conducts the Sinfónica de la Juventud Venezolana, the unique South American youth orchestra. Following this opening flourish the Sinfónica will give two more concerts with Gustavo Dudamel and Diego Matheuz. Meanwhile, Cecilia Bartoli will perform pieces from her latest album “Sacrificium – The School for Castratos”. The Festival will end in time-honoured fashion with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, recently named one of the world’s ten best orchestras by a poll of international critics.
