Valiant heroes on quests for divine glory. Ghostly figures doomed to wander the earth seeking revenge. Bloody battles between men and immortals, and golden sunrises over majestic mountaintops.
These are just a few of the fantastical images conjured by the powerful and strikingly expressive music of Richard Wagner, whose jaw-dropping operas supplied some of the most memorable themes in history and redefined the art of musical storytelling for all time.
For two nights only, join the Lyric Opera Orchestra and Chorus in concert for an enthralling program of orchestral and choral favorites showcasing Wagner's most stirring music. World-renowned soprano Christine Goerke performs with Maestro Alexander Soddy leading the evening.
This thrilling event will introduce the David W. and Orit K. Carpenter Concert Shell, an exquisite acoustic enhancement that brings Wagner's music to vivid life.
