Sony Classical presents the Vienna Philharmonic’s 2026 Summer Night Concert recorded June 19, 2026 before an audience of 50,000 enthusiastic fans. This open-air concert has been held annually since 2008 on the grounds of the UNESCO World Heritage Site at Schönbrunn Palace. Lorenzo Viotti led a varied program featured music from Ravel’s Daphnis et Chloé,Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker, Puccini’s Manon Lescaut, Massenet’s Thaïs, Boito’s Mefistofele, Verdi’s Falstaff, and Wagner’s Das Rheingold. The evening’s soloist was Welsh bass-baritone Sir Bryn Terfel, who added a very special note of his own with Tevye’s “If I Were A Rich Man” from Fiddler on the Roof. The concert included Viennese favorites from the Strauss family — signature repertoire for this ensemble.
