Leonard Bernstein's Mass
with the Virginia Symphony Orchestra
JoAnn Falletta, conductor
The largest and most theatrical of the great composer/conductor’s works, Mass is a simple name for a soaring work that fills the stage with two choruses, a children’s choir, a Broadway-sized cast (with ballet company), and a rock band—while the orchestra raises Bernstein’s glorious music to the heavens. This stunning new production combines the music of Bernstein, Paul Simon and Stephen Schwartz and will feature the Virginia Symphony, Todd Rosenlieb dancers, and a host of gifted singers in what promises to be the musical event of the year.
