Ulster Orchestra: Once Upon A Time

Visit the magical land of the fairy tale, as we perform some of the loveliest musical versions of those best-loved stories that have been read for generations.

The performance of Humperdinck’s richly evocative music from his opera Hansel & Gretel is a German Christmas tradition, while Tchaikovsky’s suite from the ballet The Sleeping Beauty is a shimmering, magical depiction of good and evil fairies, Puss in Boots and the slumbering Princess Aurora.

Mozart’s joyful, elegant Piano Concerto is a sparkling companion to these stories from the opera and ballet stage.Englebert Humperdinck Hansel & Gretel SuiteWolfgang Amadeus Mozart Piano Concerto No. 9 JeunehommePiotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky The Sleeping Beauty SuitePiotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky Polonaise from Eugene OneginSamy rachid conductorJonathan biss piano
