Prepare for an enchanting experience as Artistic Director Stéphane Denève delves into musical storytelling through famous composers of his homeland. Grammy Award-winning soprano Isabel Leonard makes her anticipated NWS debut in Maurice Ravel’s evocative spin on the Arabian Nights classic. Florent Schmitt’s fierce and seductive take on the story of Salome would pave the way for Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring. Albert Roussel’s tale of garden insects comes alive through new animations by artist Grégoire Pont that will dance across the sails of the New World Center. NWS Conducting Fellow Molly Turner joins for Ravel’s playful “Morning Song of a Jester.”
A sensory-friendly room will be available at the performance on Sunday, January 21.
