Seattle Symphony: Raise the Curtain

• Alexandra LoBianco, soprano
• Ludovic Morlot, conductor

Jules Massenet — Overture to Phèdre
Arthur Honegger — Pastorale d'été, H. 31
Franz Schubert — Symphony No. 8 in B minor, D. 759 "Unfinished"
Richard Wagner — Götterdämmerung, WWV 86D (selections)

Join us as we celebrate the Seattle Symphony's 120th season and Benaroya Hall’s 25th anniversary with historic recreations of the orchestra's 1903 and 1998 debut performances. The Symphony's very first concert, in December 1903, featured Massenet and the brilliant "Unfinished" Symphony of Schubert. Selections from Wagner's Götterdämmerung were a highlight of the concert that opened Benaroya Hall 25 years ago. Alexandra LoBianco, a frequent star of Seattle Opera, and the Symphony's Conductor Emeritus Ludovic Morlot bring a fresh perspective to this memorable program.

Pre-concert Talk presented one hour prior to each performance. Free with ticket purchase.

Doors open 1 hour, 30 minutes prior to performance
