Also sprach Zarathustra - Fri, January 24, 2025
Decades after his death, Richard Strauss enjoyed a posthumous comeback thanks to his searing and cerebral tone poem Also sprach Zarathustra. The indelible opening trumpet fanfare is instantly recognizable from its use in films like 2001: A Space Odyssey and Barbie. Equally colorful works by Hector Berlioz and Claude Debussy add Gallic flair before the program hurtles to its heart-racing conclusion with John Adams’ Short Ride in a Fast Machine.
MANON
Manon delves into the clash between love and ambition through a tragic tale of desire and survival. An impoverished French woman struggles between genuine love and the lure of luxury, ultimately discovering that her quest for opulence leads to ruin. Sir Kenneth MacMillan's acclaimed work provides profound insights into human psychology and the destructive nature of desire. This influential ballet makes its Bay Area debut, presented with original sets and costumes from the Royal Ballet. Performances are set from January 24 to February 1, 2025, at the War Memorial Opera House in San Francisco.
