Get ready for a night of epic, cinematic grandeur! Wagner originally wrote Ride of the Valkyries as a part of his vocal “music drama,” with a large buildup to the mythical Valkyrie warriors gathering to honor their dead with battle cries. Rossini’s overture to The Barber of Seville sets the stage for one of the most beloved comic operas of all time. Half-time by Martinau was written in honor of an exciting game between the Czech and French soccer teams. Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 5 celebrates the 200th anniversary of the Augsburg Confession, a pivotal moment in the history of the Protestant Reformation and the Holy Roman Empire. Korngold’s The Sea Hawk Suite is a piece from the “golden-age” of Hollywood, a lush and swashbuckling soundtrack for iconic actor Errol Flynn.
