On Saturday, September 27, 2025, the Teatro La Fenice will host a symphonic event of extraordinary intensity. The Teatro La Fenice Orchestra, conducted by Giuseppe Mengoli, will perform Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 6 in A minor, the “Tragic”, a monumental work that stands as one of the most powerful and dramatic achievements in the symphonic repertoire.
Mahler’s Sixth Symphony, composed between 1903 and 1904, is a vast musical journey that explores the human struggle against destiny. From the somber opening march to the unforgettable hammer blows of fate in the finale, the symphony is a meditation on resilience, tragedy, and the overwhelming power of life itself. Its profound emotional depth and immense orchestral demands make every performance a rare and transformative experience.
The evening will be preceded by a free introduction with musicologist Roberto Mori in the Sale Apollinee, offering the audience a chance to explore the historical and musical context of this masterpiece before hearing it live.
Giuseppe Mengoli, one of Italy’s most promising conductors of the new generation, has rapidly established himself on the international scene with his refined technique, interpretive depth, and natural charisma on the podium. Trained in both piano and conducting, Mengoli has collaborated with major orchestras in Europe and beyond, earning acclaim for his insightful readings of the great symphonic repertoire. His affinity for Mahler’s music, with its balance of lyricism and existential drama, makes this performance an eagerly awaited highlight of the season.
Experience an unforgettable evening of symphonic grandeur and emotional power.
