The Italian Baroque

Venice and beyond

The riches of the Venetian empire weren’t just silk and gold – composers Monteverdi and Gabrieli dazzled with their pioneering Baroque music. Vivaldi’s flamboyant concerti delighted even Bach, while Corelli’s glittering concerti grossi are among the finest of their type.

SAFETY IS OUR PRIORITY

The Sydney Symphony will continue to apply NSW Public Health Orders as they relate to ticketing and seating arrangements. As these Orders can change at very short notice, we will be allocating seats closer in time to concert dates than we have in previous seasons. This will allow us to maintain a COVID-19 safe environment.
