BEST OF MOZART Sunday, October 17, 3 PM

Beyond the mystique of Mozart—his astonishing precocity and early demise—lies the music itself, revealed here in its kaleidoscopic moods. A heavenly serenity infuses the themes of the Clarinet Concerto and his last symphony, Jupiter, while his impetuous First Symphony, composed at the age of 8, bursts with youthful energy.

Tickets: $55, $45, $35, $25, $25

Vengeance reversed. Verdi's famous opera based on Victor Hugo's novel about a court jester, the royal seduction of an innocent girl and the curse which led to her tragic end.
