Lidiya Yankovskaya returns to conduct Beethoven’s iconic Symphony No. 5, before the orchestra and Opera Omaha take on a brand-new collaboration: Bartók’s haunting Bluebeard’s Castle. This psychologically intense one-act masterpiece will be performed with the Omaha Symphony on full display, telling the gripping story of Bluebeard and his wife Judith as they uncover dark secrets in his mysterious castle. Michelle DeYoung, renowned for her powerful voice, takes on the role of Judith, while baritone Ryan McKinny, whose voice “drips with gold” (Opera News), makes his Omaha Symphony debut as Bluebeard. This semi-staged concert experience, co-presented with Opera Omaha, offers a unique opportunity to dive into one of opera’s most compelling works.   LESS INFORMATION
