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 Revolucion diamantina.

Fresh from his surprise appearance during the World Cup Final half-time show, Gustavo Dudamel leads the Los Angeles Philharmonic in its first Proms appearance for more than two decades. Beethoven's electrifying Seventh Symphony, hailed by Wagner as 'the apotheosis of the dance', is paired with Gabriela Ortiz's powerful Revolucion diamantina, a gripping score inspired by Mexico's 2019 'glitter revolution' that pulses with hypnotic rhythms and defiant energy.
