Event Details
Celebrate the opening of the MSO’s Season 2018 with two fantastic guest artists. Highlights include Beethoven’s stirring Emperor Concerto, the dungeon scene from Fidelio and Verdi’s amazing finale from Otello. Experience two of the greatest works by two great masters of classical music, Wagner and Verdi, who were born in the same year.
Juxtaposed with these classical icons is Composer in Residence Carl Vine’s Microsymphony, a work encompassing the dramatic features one expects from a symphony, compressed into just 12 minutes.
