Music of the Baroque Encore Enjoy these past performances by Music of the Baroque. Highlights include a Haydn-Mozart concert conducted by music director Jane Glover with pianist Imogen Cooper, a former student of Alfred Brendel. Glover is also on the podium for Mendelssohn’s Elijah, which reveals in its inspiration and structure the composer’s reverence for the works of Bach and Handel; bass-baritone Eric Owens portrays Elijah. Carl Grapentine narrates The Grand Tour, a 2019 concert led by Harry Bicket that follows an aristocratic English traveler of the 18th century through the major musical capitals of Europe. For The Family Bach, first presented in 2016, Glover combines works by Johann Sebastian with those of three of his sons. And to conclude the month, hear Pulpit and Playhouse under the direction of MOB’s principal guest conductor, Nicholas Kraemer – the concert includes an early Handel work, the psalm setting Dixit Dominus.

Sir Antonio Pappano

Operatic Classics from the Royal Opera House Covent Garden First up in this series is Beethoven’s Fidelio, starring Jonas Kaufmann as Florestan and conducted by Sir Antonio Pappano. The production, from last winter, also featured Norwegian-born soprano Lise Davidsen making her role debut as the title character. Then, from 2019, Mozart’s Don Giovanni stars bassbaritone Erwin Schrott in the title role and bass Roberto Tagliavini as his servant Leporello. Some have singled out this work as Mozart’s greatest opera, combining comic elements with romance, plus satirical, yet pointed, commentary on the victimization of women. Hartmut Haenchen conducts.

Ennio Morricone

Voices from the Silence In 2003, Riccardo Muti’s Ravenna Festival commissioned a work from the late Italian film and concert-music composer Ennio Morricone (1928- 2020). Voices from the Silence is presented in memory of the victims of September 11, 2001, though the dedication also pays tribute to the worldwide victims of racism, terrorism, and ethnic persecution. In addition to the chorus and orchestra, this moving piece features a narrator and prerecorded African music; the text is by the South African poet Richard Moore Rive, who was murdered for his antiapartheid activism. Join WFMT for this performance by the CSO from 2014. Friday, September 11 8:00 pm

Anthony Barrese

From Opera Southwest In March 2019, Opera Southwest presented the first performance of Richard Wagner’s Lohengrin ever mounted in the state of New Mexico. Tenor Corey Bix sang Lohengrin, the Swan Knight from the sacred company of Knights of the Holy Grail, and soprano Michelle Johnson portrayed Elsa, the rightful Duchess of Brabant, accused of murdering her brother until Lohengrin arrives to defend her. Sean Anderson and Claudia Chapa portray Telramund and Ortrud, who seek to overthrow Elsa and rule Brabant themselves. Set in early medieval times, Lohengrin uses a libretto by Wagner himself that draws on ancient Germanic legends. Anthony Barrese is the conductor. Saturday, September 19 12:00 pm

Last winter, he performed Ophelia’s Tears, the world premiere of a commission from the French composer Nicolas Bacri, in which the solo instrument is a bass clarinet. The piece tells the sad story of Ophelia in Shakespeare’s Hamlet, from her rejection by the title character through her suicide. The program opens with Riccardo Muti conducting Beethoven’s Symphony No. 2 and ends with the famous Beethoven Fifth. Sunday, September 27 8:00 pm
