RigolettoConducted by Julius RudelA timeless, challenging tragedy, Giuseppe Verdi’s Rigoletto deftly explores themes of love and morality. Containingneither noble heroes nor diabolical villains, the opera revels in the ambiguities inherent in its characters and actions. Widelyhailed by audiences upon its release, Rigoletto is relevent today not only to opera lovers but also those who continue tofascinate over the human condition.The Flying DutchmanPerformed by Orf Symphony Orchestra • Conducted by Pinchas SteinbergOne of legendary German composer Richard Wagner’s first operas, The Flying Dutchman is a dark tale about a cursedsailor and his eventual liberation from eternal suffering. Based in part on Wagner’s own experiences at sea and displayingthe earliest evidence of a master’s touch, Dutchman features powerful music and haunting poetry, all things that wouldbecome signature traits of Wagner’s operas.Cavalleria Rusticana & I PagliacciCavalleria Rusticana: Conducted by Gabriele Santini • I Pagliacci: Conducted by Lovro von MatacicCavalleria Rusticana & I Pagliacci, by Pietro Macagni and Ruggiero Leoncavallo respectively, reflect the 19th-centuryItalian movement toward verismo or “truthism.” Both are intense, concise and depict all of society’s brutalities in an honestand frank manner. Perhaps their greatest achievement is their ability to reveal and revel in the most ruthless and animalistichuman emotions.ToscaConducted by James LevineA 1900 classic still found in today’s repertoire, Tosca is a poignant love story filled with passion, revenge, heartbreakingmusic and intense poetry. A highly charged work with dynamic characters, Tosca depicts jealousy, power abuses anddevotion through its three main characters, Tosca, Scarpia and Cavaradossi.How to OrderOrdering is easy.
