ORQUESTRA DE LA COMUNITAT VALENCIANA<br />
Leading Orchestra at <strong>Palau</strong> <strong>de</strong> <strong>les</strong> <strong>Arts</strong> <strong>Reina</strong> Sofía<br />
Music Director: <strong>Omer</strong> <strong>Meir</strong> <strong>Wellber</strong><br />
The Orquestra <strong>de</strong> la Comunitat Valenciana (OCV), leading orchestra at <strong>Palau</strong> <strong>de</strong> <strong>les</strong> <strong>Arts</strong><br />
<strong>Reina</strong> Sofía, comprises international musicians, personally selected by the foun<strong>de</strong>r music<br />
director, Lorin Maazel, who has been leading the orchestra from 2006 to 2011. In a short<br />
time, the OCV, led by Maazel, has been positioned among the most upwardly moving<br />
orchestras internationally, and has received much praise by public and critics alike as "one<br />
of the best orchestras of recent years".<br />
The main task of the orchestra is to perform in the orchestra pit during the opera season at<br />
<strong>Palau</strong> <strong>de</strong> <strong>les</strong> <strong>Arts</strong>. Conducted by Lorin Maazel, the orchestra has polished its technique and<br />
has become a versatile group capable of performing complex scores of very differing sty<strong>les</strong>,<br />
such as Don Giovanni, Madama Butterfly, Turandot, Carmen, Simon Boccanegra, Luisa Miller,<br />
Don Carlo, Parsifal, La Traviata, Cavalleria rusticana, La vida breve, Aida and 1984.<br />
On the season 2011-2012, the Israeli maestro <strong>Omer</strong> <strong>Meir</strong> <strong>Wellber</strong> has become the music<br />
director of the Orquestra <strong>de</strong> la Comunitat Valenciana, which he had already conducted in<br />
operas such as Aida, Evgeni Onegin, L'elisir d'amore, Boris Godunov, La vida breve, Tosca,<br />
Rigoletto and I due Foscari. Maestro Zubin Mehta, as presi<strong>de</strong>nt of the Festival <strong>de</strong>l<br />
Mediterrani, has also had close relations with the OCV since it was created, and has<br />
conducted the orchestra in operas (Fi<strong>de</strong>lio, Turandot, Der Ring <strong>de</strong>s Nibelungen, Salome,<br />
Carmen, Tosca, Don Giovanni, Il trovatore, Me<strong>de</strong>a and Tristan und Isol<strong>de</strong>) and in concerts.<br />
The two performances of Wagner's famous Tetralogy consolidated the international prestige<br />
of the young but solid orchestra. To their flexibility in opera, their brilliant personality to<br />
tackle ambitious scripts of symphonic repertoires is also ad<strong>de</strong>d, such as Symphonies 2, 3<br />
and 4 by Mahler, Requiem by Verdi, Symphonie Fantastique by Berlioz, Glagolitic Mass by<br />
Janáček, Eroica by Beethoven, New World Symphony by Dvořák, Symphony No. 8 by<br />
Bruckner or The Rite of Spring by Stravinsky.<br />
The presence of other great names in contemporary orchestra conducting such as Riccardo<br />
Chailly, Andrew Davis, Valery Gergiev, Gianandrea Noseda or Georges Prêtre, and their<br />
activity in the record market contributes to place the Orquestra <strong>de</strong> la Comunitat Valenciana<br />
among the most exemplary and dynamic symphonic projects of our time.
