When love becomes sound: “Love Comedy” in the theater tent Landshut

The 2nd Symphony Concert of the Landestheater Niederbayern is dedicated on Sunday, November 22, 2026, to the contradictory sides of love. Under the title “Love Comedy,” musical wit, romantic sensibility, and orchestral brilliance combine for an evening concert with the Niederbayerische Philharmonie, conductor Elisa Gogou, and the internationally acclaimed pianist Vassilis Varvaresos.

A musical sound kaleidoscope full of irony

Arnold Bax opens the program with the “Overture to a Picaresque Comedy.” Rapidly changing orchestral solos, colorful instrumentation, and pointed musical transitions characterize this work created in 1930. Between mischief, elegance, and orchestral exuberance, a sound image emerges, in which figures such as Casanova, Till Eulenspiegel, and Strauss’s stage characters appear.

Chopin's delicate confession at the piano

At the center of the evening is Frédéric Chopin's 2nd Piano Concerto in F minor op. 21. The concert combines virtuosic piano passages with a highly poetic, almost private sound language. Especially the Larghetto unfolds an intimate atmosphere: The piano enters into a sensitive dialogue with the orchestra, while Elisa Gogou's conducting ensures clear synchronization and a smooth orchestral dramaturgy.

Vassilis Varvaresos, a pianist with multiple international awards, takes on the solo part. His stage performance promises a precise, colorful sound that makes Chopin's lyrical lines as visible as the brilliant technical challenges of the work.

A Midsummer Night's Dream with Wedding March

In conclusion, excerpts from Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy's stage music to Shakespeare's “A Midsummer Night's Dream” op. 61 will be performed. Between floating lightness, nightly magic, and comedic mischief, the music leads into a fairy-tale sound world. The famous Wedding March sets a festive conclusion and takes up the theme of love with a wink.

A concert evening between romance and musical humor

“Love Comedy” shows the wide range of symphonic music: from orchestral rogue pieces to Chopin's romantic piano poetry to Mendelssohn's luminous stage music. In the theater tent Landshut, live atmosphere, expressive orchestration, and the special audience mood of a symphony concert come together.

For those who want to not only hear classical music but experience it in all its emotional and scenic effect, this is an evening full of contrasts. Secure your seat and experience “Love Comedy” live with the Niederbayerische Philharmonie.
