Get in the spirit of the holidays with this annual WSO holiday tradition featuring the sounds of the season! In commemoration of the 200th anniversary of Charles Dickens’s birth, a chorus of ghosts and holiday revelers from A Christmas Carol come alive in SCROOGE! – a delightful tour de force for bass-baritone, orchestra and chorus. Composer Robert Rodríguez blends traditional carols and London street cries with mischievous winks at Händel, Verdi, and The Beggar’s Opera. Joining the orchestra is renowned operatic soloist, George Cordes, who has earned high praise for his performances in such esteemed world opera houses as The Metropolitan Opera, the New York City Opera, and the Lyric Opera of Chicago. Members from the Madrigal Chorale (pictured) will add their voices to SCROOGE! and other holiday favorites. The MC has provided vocal performances for more than a century.
Other highlights of this Holiday Concert will include a seasonal favorite performed by members of the WSO side-by-side with selected area high school orchestral musicians.
