Ten days, two halls, eleven nights. All fifteen Shostakovich symphonies in six days, a day off, then three nights of Aida in the other room. The densest block in the Grand Opera House’s opening season.

Shanghai Grand Opera House · Soar Theatre · 19:30 · 8 sittingsOn Sale
Fifteen symphonies across eight sittings, with matinees added on 24 and 25 October. The rare ones are not the Fifth and the Tenth; they are the Second, Third and Twelfth, which no normal season programmes. Heard in sequence it is one line from 1925 to 1971. The cycle package is gone; single nights are not.

The Mariinsky moves an entire Russian grand-opera production here, and the scale is the argument. The symphony cycle closes on the 28th and this opens on the 30th, one day apart; the two halls are four minutes’ walk inside the same building.
