First performance a resounding success
The first concert on the Sydney Symphony's 2008 Italy Tour occurred last night in the picturesque spa town of Merano. It was standing room only with the Orchestra playing to a full house. After a two hour performance, the audience wanted more clapping for two encores.
The internationally-acclaimed Sydney Symphony, resident at the iconic Sydney Opera House, performs more than 180 concerts a year with some of the world's most illustrious conductors and soloists.
