Singer

Based on Georg Büchner’s play Woyzeck, Berg’s opera is a harrowing and brilliant critique of the cycles of suffering imposed by systems of power, laced with moments of wry humor that expose the absurdity of human folly. It reveals how decisions driven by war, greed, and disregard for human lives cascade downward, devastating the less fortunate while reflecting on universal struggles that resonate across time. Berg’s expressionist opera is acknowledged as the most important of the early 20th century.

Mozart, Bach, Bernstein, and Bell hit the town for this concert of orchestral stars. Known by some as “Madison’s violinist,” WCO Concertmaster Suzanne Beia showcases masterful musicianship and poise with Mozart’s Violin Concerto No. 5. Interludes of Bach and Bernstein set the stage for a collaboration with Kanopy Dance company, performing two works: ConFluence: A Prelude set to a new work by local composer Michael M. Bell, and Summer in the City set to Bernstein’s classic musical, On the Town.
