The performance starts with the famous tone poem from Saint-Saens, his Danse Macabre. Following this is Tchaikovsky's own powerfully romantic Romeo & Juliet Overture, where love and violence share the stage in an epic musical rendition of the classic Shakespearean story. Dvorak's euphoric Eighth Symphony sets the scene for the warmer spring months ahead to bring the concert to a fitting finale and leave everyone in an uplifted mood as The Metropolitan Orchestra ends their amazing 17th concert season.
