Classical Music: Symphony, Chorus and Opera
Spring Arts 2013
The Washington region is exceptionally rich in classical music, and you could easily spend springtime soaking up all kinds of chamber, symphonic and chorale music, from old school to Hollywood, opera to avant-garde. Among the many intriguing highlights to come in the coming months, the Washington National Opera offers an operatic version of the pioneering musical Show Boat. And all three of the region’s largest orchestras will perform Carl Orff’s intense Carmina Burana. The National Symphony Orchestra’s production will even take place outdoors, under a starry sky at Wolf Trap. Talk about a musical rush.
