Esa-Pekka Salonen leads the orchestra in Stravinsky's The Firebird, Magnus Lindberg’s 2002 Bach-inspired piece Chorale and Alban Berg’s famed Violin Concerto — played here by Isabelle Faust — which functioned both as an elegy for a surrogate daughter who died too soon, and as a requiem for himself. (Part of the WFMT Orchestra Series)

Johann Strauss’ “Die Fledermaus”? … and it isn’t anywhere near New Year’s Eve! We are, however, going to Vienna for a recent production of this beloved favorite on this week’s Sunday Opera (9/6 3:00 p.m.). -
As usual, we’re showcasing some of the musicals that opened this month on this week’s Dress Circle (9/6 7:00 p.m.). Since there hasn’t been a new musical open since 2020, we thought we’d do something a little different. We’re still looking at overtures and opening numbers, but this time, we’re focusing on eight operettas.
