June 18: Chesapeake Chamber Music Festival - Bridging the Eras
Enjoy Mozart’s Horn Quintet in E-flat Major, in which lyricism leads to a spirited close with a series of “hunting horn”-like fanfares. Be moved by Brahms’s intense, passionate and lyrical String Quartet No. 2 in A Minor. Delight in one of audiences’ all-time favorites, Schubert’s Piano Quintet in A Major, “The Trout,” written when he was 22. Schubert based the work partly on his song “Die Forelle” (“The Trout”) at the request of the patron who commissioned the work, and its melodies suggest a jumping trout and rippling water.
June 18: Wolf Trap Opera - La Cenerentola
Rossini’s sparkling adaptation of the classic fairy tale is not about a glass slipper, but two diamond bracelets and the triumph of virtue over appearance. This enchanting opera buffa is a whirlwind of mistaken identities and genuine love. With exhilarating music famous for its demanding vocal fireworks, this witty Cinderella is a captivating theatrical delight.
