Vienna, city of my dreams…as sweet as a slice of sachertorte and as fizzy as champagne, it simply wouldn’t be New Year without the music of Johann Strauss and friends! There’ll be elegant waltzes, playful polkas, and good old-fashioned operetta romance from tenor James Edwards. So let the CBSO and maestro Martin Yates whirl you back to a more glamorous age, as we raise a glass to the start of another great year of music. Prosit!
