A house frozen in time. A love built on lies. Samuel Barber’s score burns through the illusions.
Andris Nelsons leads a brilliant ensemble of opera’s foremost stars in Samuel Barber’s "Vanessa" – the 1958 Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece that stands as a pinnacle of American opera. Presented in Symphony Hall’s legendary acoustics, with Gian Carlo Menotti’s poignant libretto and Barber’s achingly beautiful score, this mid-century masterpiece explores the illusions of love through music of extraordinary emotional power.
Presented in collaboration with Boston Symphony Orchestra.
Performed with the Boston Lyric Opera Chorus.
