International Festival of Orchestras I
“Les Troyens has everything … marching music, battle music, symphonic music, and choruses of such sweeping power,” wrote a reviewer on a Berlioz fan site. Enjoy a rare opportunity to hear the complete first part of Berlioz’s Trojan War epic, Les Troyens, performed by the Mariinsky Orchestra (Kirov), and the chorus and soloists from Russia’s great Mariinsky Theater, led by Music Director Valery Gergiev. It’s a highlight of a series that also features three more of Europe’s celebrated orchestras performing symphonic masterworks by Brahms, Rachmaninoff, and Wagner.
