Approved

The story of Scheherazade and the tales she weaves over 1,001 nights to placate a wrathful sultan is so captivating that it set off the imaginations of many brilliant minds, including Rimsky-Korsakov and Ravel. Sumptuous melodies and fantastical soundscapes define Rimsky-Korsakov’s beloved orchestral suite, and Utah Opera regular Wendy Bryn Harmer performs Ravel’s lesser-known and lovely song cycle. This dual exploration is beautifully complemented by Dobrinka Tabakova’s Orpheus’ Comet, inspired by the tragic love story of Orpheus and Euridice—a romantic couple destined to face a heartbreaking decision.

ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES
Join us for a pre-concert chat about the evening’s program with Assistant Conductor Matthew Straw joined by guest artists and symphony musicians, held 45 minutes prior to the performance start time in the First Tier Room.

English

La historia de Sherezade y los cuentos que teje durante 1.001 noches para aplacar a un sultán iracundo es tan cautivadora que despertó la imaginación de muchas mentes brillantes, entre ellas las de Rimsky-Korsakov y Ravel. Suntuosas melodías y fantásticos paisajes sonoros definen la querida suite orquestal de Rimsky-Korsakov, y Wendy Bryn Harmer, habitual de Utah Opera , interpreta el menos conocido y encantador ciclo de canciones de Ravel. Esta doble exploración se complementa maravillosamente con El cometa de Orfeo, de Dobrinka Tabakova, inspirada en la trágica historia de amor de Orfeo y Eurídice, una pareja romántica destinada a enfrentarse a una decisión desgarradora.
