Real Orquesta Sinfónica de Sevilla Mahler 6

Real Orquesta Sinfónica de Sevilla will close its Mahler-focused 2025-26 season with two performances of Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 6 in A minor, “Tragic,” on May 21 and 22 at the Teatro de la Maestranza in Seville. The orchestra lists both concerts as part of its “Sinfónico 14” subscription program, titled “Tragedia y enigma,” with a start time of 8 p.m. on both nights. György Györiványi Ráth is named as conductor in the orchestra’s season calendar and ticketing pages. ### When and where are the performances? The Teatro de la Maestranza is listed by the orchestra as the venue for both May 21 and May 22 performances. ROSSevilla’s upcoming-concerts page gives the dates as Thursday and Friday, May 21-22, 2026, and sets the program in the main symphonic cycle. The orchestra’s ticketing platform repeats the same dates and shows separate purchase options for each evening. (rossevilla.es) At 20:00 h, both performances are scheduled to begin, according to the orchestra’s listings. A Bachtrack event page also shows the same dates, venue and conductor for the program, matching the orchestra’s own published information. ### What exactly is on the program? Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 6 in A minor, “Tragic,” is the sole work named in the orchestra’s concert listing for “Sinfónico 14.” The program page does not indicate additional orchestral works on the same bill in the search result text, presenting the Mahler symphony as the central work of the evening. (rossevilla.es) Europa Press, in a report published May 18, described the concert as the fourteenth subscription program of the season and said it was dedicated to Mahler’s Sixth. ABC’s event coverage described Mahler’s Sixth as “one of the most intense works” in the symphonic repertory and identified the Teatro de la Maestranza as the concert venue. That characterization comes from ABC’s preview of the event rather than from the orchestra’s own program listing. (rossevilla.es) ### Who is conducting, and how is he billed? György Györiványi Ráth is listed as conductor on the orchestra’s upcoming-concerts page for both dates. The ticketing page for “Sinfónico 14” also names him directly under the work listing for Mahler’s Sixth. Those pages do not conflict on spelling, date or role. Bachtrack’s separate event listing also names György Gyorivanyi Rath as conductor for the same performances, using an unaccented transliteration of his name. (europapress.es) Across the sources, the orchestra and outside listings agree that he is the conductor attached to the May 21-22 program. (rossevilla.es) ### How does this fit into Sevilla’s broader Mahler season? The 2025-26 season has been framed by the orchestra around Mahler, according to ROSSevilla and local media reports. A ROSSevilla press release published this month said the orchestra was holding a conference series, “Mahler y la Belleza,” from May 6 to May 22 at the Teatro de la Maestranza, describing Gustav Mahler as the central axis of the season. Europa Press likewise reported on May 18 that the orchestra would culminate its Mahler-dedicated season with the “Tragic” symphony. (bachtrack.com) A ROSS podcast entry published ahead of the concerts also tied the performances to the orchestra’s season programming and highlighted Mahler’s Sixth specifically. The podcast page again gives the dates, venue and start time for the two performances. ### What else is happening around the concerts? May 6 to May 22 is the run of the orchestra’s “Mahler y la Belleza” conference-and-talk series at the Teatro de la Maestranza, according to ROSSevilla. (rossevilla.es) The orchestra said the talks were designed to explore Mahler’s work and place in the season’s programming. (youtube.com) May 23 is the next listed appearance of the same Mahler Sixth program outside Seville, with ROSSevilla’s calendar showing “Andalucía Sinfónica Almería” at the Teatro Maestro Padilla in Almería, again conducted by György Györiványi Ráth. For Seville audiences, tickets and program information for the May 21-22 performances remain available through the orchestra’s event pages. (rossevilla.es 1) (rossevilla.es 2)
