OVERVIEW

Conceived by Creative Partner David Robertson, this extraordinary program leads toward Beethoven’s idealized vision of the human experience in the incomparable Ninth Symphony—with its famous “Ode to Joy” featuring the Utah Symphony Chorus. The chorus also shines in the first half, with a Bruckner motet examining spirituality and a semi-staged presentation of Act III from Berg’s Wozzeck. Starkly opposite Beethoven’s Ninth, this opera depicts the grimmest sides of humanity—altogether, delivering a concert that represents the entirety of the mortal condition, creates new understanding of Beethoven’s masterpiece, and inspires us to turn toward a better version of ourselves.
