More than 2,000 people will be treated to a suite from Richard Strauss' Der Rosenkavalier at a performance by the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra in Wellington tonight.
The NZSO will be the envy of the musical world as it plays what's thought to be the first to a live audience in a full concert hall since the pandemic began.
Chair of the NZSO board, Laurence Kubiak, speaks to Gyles Beckford.
