Where: Flynn Theater, Burlington, VT
The 2026–27 season opens with music inspired and created by powerful women—from Björk to Cleopatra, spanning 19th-century Vermont to the Persian Empire. The concert premieres a VSO commission by composer Clarice Assad, based on the historic Weybridge couple Charity Bryant and Sylvia Drake, alongside selections from Giuseppi Verdi’s Aida and Hector Berlioz’ La mort de Cléopâtre. The dramatic and sweeping Scheherazade by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov brings this memorable program to a vivid close. The Flynn Center for the Performing Arts.
