Suntrust Classical Series.  Nashville Symphony presents - Giancarlo Guerrero conducts:

Bluebeard's Castle

In his Symphony No. 1, Beethoven embarked on what would soon be a string of monumental works destined to change the course of classical music. Bartók’s early masterpiece Bluebeard’s Castle recounts the classic fairy tale about a bloodthirsty nobleman and his castle of horrors. As his young bride walks through the doors of the castle, Bartók’s music builds in dramatic intensity, leading to a chilling conclusion. Renowned artist Dale Chihuly has created a spectacular set design with his artwork for this production. Six individual 14-foot glass sculptures, which represent the castle doors, will be revealed during the course of the performance by the Nashville Symphony.

In tandem with this production, Cheekwood Botanical Garden & Museum of Art in Nashville will be hosting a Chihuly exhibition from May-Oct 2010 as will the Frist Center for the Visual Arts from May 2010-January 2011.
