BOSTON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
ANDRIS NELSONS’ INAUGURAL CONCERT
SATURDAY, MAY 30 @ 6:00PM
The concert opens fittingly with Wagner’s Tannhäuser Overture—the work that first inspired a five-year-old Nelsons to a life in music—and closes with Respighi’s spectacular orchestral showcase, “Pines of Rome.”
The program selections shine a special focus on this exciting new collaboration between conductor and orchestra, and also include Wagner’s Prelude and Liebestod from Tristan und Isolde, with Opolais; and the Intermezzo from Mascagni’s Cavalleria rusticana.
