No work delivers such dizzying pleasures while going to hell — and back — as Berlioz’s dramatic opera. Riccardo Muti conducts this kaleidoscopic work, with its timeless themes of temptation and redemption. An all-star cast joins the CSO and Chicago Symphony Chorus, which vividly portrays the hordes of peasants and soldiers, damned souls and demons.
