OES Conductor and Artistic Director Beau Benson kicks off our 40th Season with a performance of Pendleton-born Hollywood composer Chris Thomas's Malheur Symphony. Originally commissioned by the Bowerman family in the wake of the Malheur Refuge Standoff, Malheur Symphony is a tone poem depicting the avian wildlife over the course of a day on the Malheur Wildlife Refuge in southeastern Oregon. Also to be presented is Richard Strauss's tone poem Don Juan, based on poet Nikolaus Lenue's play about the fictional Spanish libertine.

Frankenstein: Resurrection is a Gothic tragedy musical that begins at the frozen end of Mary Shelley’s novel—and refuses to let it stay finished. When Victor Frankenstein is pulled alive from the Arctic ice, his survival ignites a new cycle of transgression in 19th-century Paris, a city that treats death as entertainment and bodies as currency. As Victor attempts to rebuild himself through stolen flesh, he evolves from tragic survivor into willing predator, discovering not just how to cheat death—but how intoxicating it feels to do so.
