• The lovely melody of Donizetti’s Overture from Opera buffa “Don Pasquale” opens this concert which also presents four other opera excerpts. This is a concert in which the many facets of human emotions are blatantly on display. In his last work, “Falstaff”, Verdi presented the notorious huge man Falstaff in a humorous light. In act four of “Carmen”, we see the gypsy heroine willing to die for love, and how the officer Don Jose fell from grace in the name of love. The murder outside of the bull fighting ring is highlighted by the tension in the music. The excerpt from Puccini’s “Suor Angelica” is simple yet moving. Angelica is forced to become a nun after giving birth to a son out of wedlock. She kills herself in grief seven years later when she learns that her son has fallen ill and passed away. Strauss’ “Salome” aims to shock and surprise the audience from the dance of the seven veils to the very end of the opera. We invite you to come and enjoy a night of drama and music.

• Dvořák is one of the most influential and significant Bohemian composers of the Romantic Period. He finished his Symphony No.8 in G Major in beautiful Vysoká, Czech in 1889 and personally conducted its premiere in Prague on February 2nd, 1890. With rich and mature orchestrations, Symphony No.8 is a classical piece with a new twist which mimics and celebrates the sounds of nature. Tchaikovsky completed Overture-Fantasy “Romeo and Juliet” when he was 28 years old. The composer dramatically expressed his expectations and disappointments towards love through his orchestra interpretation of Shakespeare’s famous play. The romantic theme in this composition is constantly performed in concerts today.
