The Cleveland Orchestra Tickets

Blossom Music Center | Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio

The passion of love lost is the theme explored by The Cleveland Orchestra with Karina Canellakis on Tchaikovsky's Fourth at Blossom Music Center on Sunday, August 15th 2021. Whether its Tchaikovsky, seeking solace, his life lies in tatters after his marriage that only lasted six weeks. Nearly mad with passion, he poured out his feelings into his Fourth Symphony, and the act of writing the music itself helped to rebalance his sanity. He said of the finale, “rejoice in the happiness of others, and you can still live.” Balanced against Dvorak’s The Wood Dove, where the dove sits on the grave of Kytice’s dead husband, whom she poisoned to be with another man, who subsequently died shortly after. The dove sings her a sad song day after day, until she feels too guilty and drowns herself in the river. Buy your tickets to, this not entirely sad, performance, the music is beautiful even if the story is a little depressing!
