Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra
The Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra is one of the world’s top orchestras. Ever since it was founded in 1888, the orchestra has worked with leading conductors and soloists. Klaus Mäkelä is the orchestra’s artistic partner and will become its chief conductor in 2027. The orchestra plays about eighty concerts a year in the Concertgebouw and forty in other prestigious venues. It also reaches audiences worldwide with its videos, streams, and radio and TV broadcasts.
The orchestra has a long tradition of collaboration with Dutch National Opera, which will be continuing in the 2024–2025 season in the new production of Boris Godunov. In the 2025 – 2026 season, the orchestra will accompany the new production Simon Boccanegra.
