Thus Spake Zarathustra: A thrilling evening from the Sydney Symphony Orchestra

Oliver Brett, 25th February

The Sydney Symphony Orchestra continued their pairing of Beethoven and Strauss with two works based on different types of heros – the tragic hero of Beethoven’s Coriolan Overture and the more Romantic, all-conquering hero of Strauss’ Thus Spake Zarathustra, based on Nietzsche’s book.
