Life, Love & Death
About the Show
A perfect, if dark, teaser for Valentine’s Day, Richard Wagner’s opera Tristan und Isolde is the ultimate love story. The Prelude und Liebestod combines the opening and closing segments of the opera, and portrays love, and every possible emotion of it. Ludwig van Beethoven’s grandiose and heroic Piano Concerto No. 5, “The Emperor” was his final piano concerto. A perfect contrast with the passionate Tristan und Isolde. It will be performed by rising star pianist Albert Cano Smit. Robert Schumann’s Symphony No. 4 epitomizes the German late Romantic era symphony with its highly integrated and sweepingly melodic themes.
