Birthday boy Jaap van Zweden conducts Beethoven's Fidelio during the NTR Saturday Matinee
Due to the present corona measures, Wagner's initially scheduled as one of the highlights of the 60 season of the NTR Saturday Matinee series, proved too big a project for the Main Hall of The Concertgebouw. Instead, birthday boy Jaap van Zweden will conduct Ludwig van Beethoven's opera , at the end of the Beethoven Year 2020. With largely the same star cast, the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra – of which he was the principal conductor from 2005 to 2011 - and the Netherlands Radio Choir. Both radio ensembles celebrate their 75 anniversary this year.
On Saturday 12 December from 2:15 pm , the postponed live broadcast of this concert can be listened to on NPO Radio 4 via https://www.nporadio4.nl/live. On Sunday 13 December from 9:30 pm , the concertante version of the opera will be broadcast on NPO Start and can be viewed via https://www.npostart.nl/
