Click on each photo for a biography of our featured artists! Rhapsodies embody highly contrasting moods and
colors, and an air of spontaneous inspiration and improvisation.
Perhaps no other work exemplifies these qualities more than
Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini. Of Brahms'
iconic take on the genre, Clara Schumann remarked, "The
Alto Rhapsody seems to me neither more nor less than
the expression of his own heart's anguish. If only he would
for once speak
as tenderly!" Donizetti's unforgettable mad scene in Lucia
di Lammermoor showcases an unparalleled interplay of coloratura
vocal lines, flute melodies, and symphonic vigor in a tour
de force of music drama. Considered Queen's magnum opus, the Bohemian
Rhapsody fantastically fuses ballad and opera with their
feared rival, heavy metal. Come experience each rhapsody's
unique transformations, from the most brilliant and haunting
to the utterly lyrical and intimate. Program Length: 85 minutes
without intermission.
