Free Family Concert: MAHLER'S FIFTH

In this special edition of the Family Concert, young music fans find out what opera is all about. Using Verdi's RIGOLETTO, we explore the plot of this operatic classic in a way that is suitable for children. We also look at how the orchestra and the performers come together, and why opera still fascinates audiences after hundreds of years. Under the direction of Boian Videnoff, the children learn why a piece of music can sound heroic at one moment, eerie at another, sad at another, and lovely at yet another.
