Maestro Carlo Rizzi Returns to Conduct the Symphony Orchestra of India in its 20th Year

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 20: After nearly a decade, the renowned Italian conductor Carlo Rizzi returned to the National Centre for the Performing Arts to lead the Symphony Orchestra of India in two notable concerts for the Spring 2026 Season. His first concert opened with Antonin Dvorak's Symphony No. 8, a cheerful composition suffused with the spirit of the Bohemian countryside, invoking the composer's summer home. Dvorak's imaginative writing for the woodwinds was especially palpable in Rizzi's interpretation, before giving way to the sweeping drama of Symphony No. 2 by Jean Sibelius, a Finnish composer of the late Romantic period. Known for his structural command and instinct for long lyrical lines, Rizzi drew from the orchestra a sound that combined emotional depth with technical brilliance. His years of experience as an opera conductor bring another dimension to the music of the symphonic repertoire.
