Soprano Renée Fleming returns to Symphony Center! Often called “the people’s diva,” Fleming charms audiences around the world with her vocal intelligence and musical grace. She will dazzle Opening Night attendees with Barber’s exquisite
Knoxville: Summer of 1915, a nostalgic depiction of an evening in the American South, and an array of songs by Richard Strauss. This festive program also includes the misadventures of a German rogue as depicted in Strauss’ famous tone poem
Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks.
New! All Opening Night ticket holders are invited to a preconcert cocktail celebration at Symphony Center. Immediately following
