A Midsummer Night's Dream with Dudamel | Walt Disney Concert Hall (original) (raw)

About this Performance

Walt Disney Concert Hall transforms into Shakespeare’s magical forest when Gustavo Dudamel leads Mendelssohn’s whimsical incidental music from A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Complete with video projections setting the scene and actress María Valverde narrating in Spanish, the music offers drama, fairies, and more than a little comedy. Dudamel has called Gabriela Ortiz “one of the most important composers in the world” for her distinct use of rhythm and harmonic colors. Alisa Weilerstein performs the world premiere of the Mexican composer’s new Cello Concerto.

This concert is narrated in Spanish with English supertitles.

This performance is generously supported by the Lloyd E. Rigler – Lawrence E. Deutsch Foundation.

*Please note this Saturday Evenings 1 (SA1) Series program is on a Thursday.
