Comedy and tragedy intertwine in this program of theatrical music including Ludwig van Beethoven's dramatic Coriolan Overture and Felix Mendelssohn's lighthearted music for William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. Haydn's Il Distratto Symphony repurposes music from a comedic play about a gentleman so absent-minded he nearly forgets his own wedding!
