It ain’t about us – it’s about the students

FWSO: Wagner’s The Flying Dutchman
Saturday, April 12 | 7pm
Wagner’s opera The Flying Dutchman is a eerie tale of redemption through love, set in the fearsome world of a ghost sea captain. To close out the symphonic season, the FWSO has assembled an all-star vocal cast and chorus to bring this spectral story to life in sharp relief, with all the tempestuousness and drama of Wagner’s music distilled in a special semi-staged production. Before each symphonic concert, FWSO Principal Keyboard Buddy Bray offers a pre-concert lecture to dive deeper into the works, their history, and other fun concert-related facts. Bachtales with Buddy is free for all ticket holders. WAGNER: The Flying Dutchman Robert Spano, conductorBACHTALES WITH BUDDY | 1 Hour Before Concert

Wednesday, April 30 | 7pm
Cinderella with a twist! The classic opera La Cenerentola tells a story of empowerment and virtue against the backdrop of the classic Cinderella narrative.
In this version, we follow the kind-hearted Cenerentola who lives as a maid under the harsh rule of her cruel stepsisters, Clorinda and Tisbe, and scheming stepfather Don Magnifico. Fate intervenes when she encounters Prince Ramiro, disguised as a servant. Captivated by her innate goodness, the Prince’s heart is won over by her gentle spirit.
Through clever disguises and hilarious scenes, the characters go on a journey that highlights the triumph of kindness and forgiveness over adversity. La Cenerentola is a magical experience, perfect for the whole family, blending romance and comedy in a spellbinding performance.
With its elaborate sets, exquisite costumes, and the full accompaniment of the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, this production promises to enchant audiences of all ages, leaving them with a heartwarming message and a touch of magic.
