The Qatar Philharmonic presents a concert featuring two of Beethoven’s best dramatic works; Leonore Overture No. 3 and Symphony No. 3 in E Flat Major “Eroica Symphony”. Fidelio, originally titled Leonore, is Beethoven’s only opera. Beethoven produced four versions of the overture to Fidelio, though Leonore Overture No. 3 is regarded as the most powerful and theatrical of the overtures. Beethoven’s Symphony No. 3, also known as Eroica Symphony due to its supposed heroic nature, premiered in 1805 and was greater and more intense than customary symphonies at the time. The piece is one of Beethoven’s chiefly instrumental works, and is regarded as a turning point in musical history as it marks the beginning of Beethoven’s second period in his career.

This concert includes Prokofiev’s Symphony No. 1 in D Major, which was composed as a modern reinterpretation of the classical styles of Haydn and Mozart, and remains one of Prokofiev’s most popular works. The performance will also feature Dvorák’s Symphony No. 9 in E Minor “From the New World”, though it’s more widely known as New World Symphony. The New World Symphony was written while the composer was living and working in New York City, and was purportedly inspired by Dvorák’s reflections on his American setting.
