Storytelling in music was revolutionized by Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique, with its massive orchestra and vivid, even hallucinatory, colors. Wildly popular from its first performance, it makes the perfect beginning to our season. Austrian Maestro Campestrini opens with the exuberant overture to Glinka’s fairytale opera, studded with Russian, Finnish and Persian folk tunes. Prokofiev’s charming and impudent musical fable of an imaginary soldier’s misadventures completes the magic.
