A Viennese Prom – May 2015

a-viennese-prom-may-2015Travel back in time to the glory days of 19th century Vienna with a magical mix of music and song. A Vienna awash with opulent parties and glittering ballrooms filled with dancers whirling deliriously, revelling in a new phenomenon called the waltz. While Josef Lanner transformed the peasant dance, the Strauss family soon captured a monopoly on both waltz and polka, feeding the insatiable demand of Vienna’s enthusiasm.

Combining the elegance of Vienna with the rousing sound of the Irish Chamber Orchestra, eminent German conductor, Jochen Rieder takes the baton for this sumptuous extravaganza. Rieder regularly conducts the great Jonas Kaufmann, so his appearance in Limerick’s Milk Market is much anticipated. The ICO will be joined by sparkling soprano Gloria Rehm for a delectable mix of Viennese waltzes, polkas and song which are as fresh today as they were then.

Waltzes will feature dancers from Ballet Ireland in glorious costumes of the period. From The Blue Danube to Tales from the Vienna Woods to Die Fledermaus, there is something here for everyone!

  • Market House
  • Harpers
  • The Limerick Chocolate Shop

The Milk Market bags will be reduced to clear at €3.00 a bag from this weekend going into the busy Christmas period. The donations thus far have been made to the relevant charities (95 stop Tour in September and RapeCrisis Midwest for October/ and beginning of November).

Unfortunately we will not be able to make charity donations on future sales as the cost of the bags with the seller fee is already more that the new €3.00 price per unit.

Thanks for your support!
