RICHARD WAGNER Overture to The Flying Dutchman

CAMILLE SAINT-SAËNS Violin Concerto No. 3

SERGEI PROKOFIEV Symphony No. 3

Paolo Bortolameolli leads the RPO Wagner’s Overture to The Flying Dutchman evoking the raging sea, ghostly fate, and redemptive love that define the haunting legend. Violinist Blake Pouliot dazzles in Saint-Saëns’ Violin Concerto No. 3, a triumph of soaring melodies. Then, Prokofiev’s Symphony No. 3 tells a tale of mystery, intensity, and symphonic fire.
