A Midsummer Night's Dream with Dudamel
Walt Disney Concert Hall transforms into Shakespeare’s magical forest when Gustavo Dudamel leads Mendelssohn’s whimsical incidental music from A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Complete with video projections setting the scene and actress María Valverde narrating in Spanish, the music offers drama, fairies, and more than a little comedy. Dudamel has called Gabriela Ortiz “one of the most important composers in the world” for her distinct use of rhythm and harmonic colors. Alisa Weilerstein performs the world premiere of the Mexican composer’s new cello concerto.
This concert is narrated in Spanish with English supertitles. This presentation of A Midsummer Night's Dream features projections with illustrations that include nudity.
This performance is generously supported by the Lloyd E. Rigler – Lawrence E. Deutsch Foundation.
