CSO: Wagner & Strauss

Sweeping passion and transcendent drama take center stage in Wagner & Strauss, an evening that immerses listeners in the rich emotional landscapes of two towering composers. Wagner's Die Meistersinger, Elsa's Procession to the Cathedral from Lohengrin, and the iconic Prelude and Love Death from Tristan & Isolde unfold with grandeur, lyricism, and aching intensity. Strauss offers a contrasting yet complementary voice with the intimate warmth of Intermezzo: Entr'acte--Träumerei am Kamin and the profound, soaring journey of Death and Transfiguration. Together, these masterworks create a powerful exploration of love, longing, and transformation through some of the most evocative music ever written.
