Fire in the Heavens: Australia 1973
40m
This archival documentary relives the Cleveland Orchestra’s electrifying 1973 tour of Australia and New Zealand — a sweeping musical journey across two nations under the batons of Erich Leinsdorf and Stanisław Skrowaczewski, featuring pianist Jörg Demus. The tour reached its historic peak in Sydney, with four triumphant performances under Lorin Maazel inaugurating the new Sydney Opera House, featuring the incomparable soprano Birgit Nilsson. The response was nothing short of ecstatic — from critics and audiences alike.
