Andris Nelsons reunites with creator Bill Barclay 10 years after their hit production of Mendelssohn’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream at Symphony Hall in Boston.

Available in two versions: 75 minutes (Prokofiev only), or two acts (two hours total: Prokofiev + Berlioz, Tchaikovsky, and Nino Rota).

“Barclay’s approach to programming, explorative and also grounded in the tradition and context of early music, is one of the most creative and stimulating things happening on New York City’s classical music scene.”

-NY Classical Review

Music by Sergei Prokofiev
Libretto by Sergei Radlov, Adrian Piotrovsky, Leonid Lavrovsky, and Sergei Prokofiev
