5-Audience and
tickets.
The concert is popular
throughout Europe, and
more recently around the
world. The demand for
tickets is so high that
people have to preregister
one year in advance in
order to participate in the
drawing of tickets for the
following year. Indeed,
many seats are reserved by
some Austrian families and
passed down from
generation to generation.
6--New Year’s Concert 2010 with Georges Prêtre.
The Vienna Philharmonic New Year's Concert 2010 was
conducted for the second time by the French conductor
Georges Prêtre. Due to the television and radio broadcasts in
more than 70 countries, the New Year's Concert is in terms of its
international coverage the largest classical music event in the
world.
