'A dark saying that must be left unguessed.’ Fourteen variations on a single theme—it sounds simple, almost trivial, maybe even a bit dull. Yet the playful sketch Elgar improvised one evening at the piano grew into one of the most iconic works in the symphonic repertoire.

It all begins with a variation portraying his friend Billy Baker—and soon, his entire circle of friends takes the stage in music. The real ‘Enigma’? It’s not just about who’s who behind each variation, but also about the hidden theme itself… a secret Elgar took to his grave.

‘That old, but eternally new subject, Romeo and Juliet.’ Romeo and Juliet is the ultimate love story, which Tchaikovsky transforms into a gripping musical drama, full of passion, tension, and lyrical beauty.
