“If music be the food of love, play on.” -- Shakespeare
Celebrate love in all its dramatic, poetic, erotic, scandalous and insatiable forms! February’s Masterwork program features three orchestra premieres, headlined by the SFSO return of R. Strauss’ Don Juan.
Don Juan is a swashbuckling escapade that both scandalized and delighted audiences with its eroticism and ultra-modern style when it premiered in 1889, cementing Strauss’s fame as the genius of his generation, making him a favorite among musical modernists. Meanwhile, his Four Last Songs, an SFSO premiere, is a touchingly beautiful and serene masterpiece, saying goodbye to an illustrious career.
The program also features the orchestra premieres of the world’s most famous waltz, J. Strauss II’s The Blue Danube and Berlioz’ tumultuous King Lear Overture.
