A Symphonic Tribute to the 80s

The Salzburg Philharmonic dedicates itself to the defining hits of the 1980s in a symphonic concert that reinterprets the iconic melodies of an entire era. From Madonna’s “Like a Prayer” to Prince’s “Purple Rain” and U2’s “With or Without You,” the orchestral and choral arrangements capture the distinctive sound of the decade, shaped by synthesizers, electronic tones, and unforgettable choruses.

Vocal soloists such as Monika Ballwein, Benét Monteiro, and Nathan Trent are accompanied by the Salzburg Philharmonic Choir and orchestra under the direction of Elisabeth Fuchs. Dance performances complement the program, transporting the audience to the era of MTV, music videos, and legendary stage outfits. A concert that blends nostalgia with musical virtuosity.
