La Traviata

Giuseppe Verdi

La Traviata (The Fallen Woman) premiered at Teatro La Fenice in 1853 and has long been one of the cornerstones of the operatic repertory.  One of Verdi’s most popular operas, it is also one of his most distinct. Unlike the majority of his output which was inspired by grand historical or political events, this work’s subject matter directly addresses social issues contemporary to the composer’s time.

West Side Story
Symphony Concert Version

Leonard Bernstein

Inspired by Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, West Side Story is a 1957 musical composed by Leonard Bernstein with lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. It is set against an urban background of interracial warfare with many of its themes still fully resonating today.  The unfiltered treatment of the social problems of that time with such pointed, sophisticated music, make this work a piece of truly groundbreaking importance.
