Beethoven’s Seventh at the Proms

Gustavo Dudamel leads the Los Angeles Philharmonic in its first Proms appearance for more than two decades, pairing Beethoven with Gabriela Ortiz's urgent Revolución diamantina. Fresh from his surprise appearance during the FIFA World Cup Final half-time show, Dudamel conducts Beethoven's electrifying Seventh Symphony, hailed by Wagner as ‘the apotheosis of the dance’. The Symphony is paired with Gabriela Ortiz's powerful Revolución diamantina, a gripping score inspired by Mexico's 2019 Glitter Revolution, and pulsing with hypnotic rhythms and defiant energy. Presented by Georgia Mann.
