Atlanta Symphony Orchestra: Opening Night! Carmina Burana and Barber of Seville

with Robert Spano, conductor

Opening Night Celebration

Music Director Robert Spano leads Orff’s timeless Carmina Burana and excerpts from Rossini’s beloved Barber of Seville — classic operas and modern cultural icons — in a spectacular launch to the ASO’s second season at its new summer home. The compelling drama of Carmina Burana has sent pulses racing in films like Excalibur, The Hunt for Red October, and Glory. The Barber of Seville has had a rosier career, animating the antics of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and Homer Simpson. Mr. Spano, on a 48-hour break from conducting Wagner’s “Ring” in Seattle, has a superb vocal cast to work with, including the remarkable soprano Georgia Jarman, one of the stars of the ASO’s inaugural season-staging of La Bohéme.
