Celebrate New Year’s Day in style at the first concert of the year, Viennese Whirl, with the Orchestra of Opera North on Sunday 1 January 2012 at Leeds Town Hall. A wonderful afternoon of waltzes, polkas and excerpts from well-loved operas by the Viennese masters.
 
Conducting this powerful orchestra is Jacek Kaspszyk, Principal Conductor of Capital Radio's Wren Orchestra and Artistic Director of the NFM Wroclaw Philharmonic. Adding a touch of sparkle to the afternoon is stunning soprano Stephanie Corley who took the lead role in Opera North’s The Merry Widow in December 2010, with Richard Morrison of The Times awarding the performance four stars. Jacek and Stephanie are joined on stage by Opera North’s Dougie Scarfe as compère.
 
The programme for the afternoon includes Josef Strauss Die Libelle, Lumbye Champagner Galopp and various works from Johann Strauss II, including Pizzicato Polka and the ever-popular Blue Danube Waltz.
