Orchestra Santa Monica: Der Rosenkavalier Suite and Operatic Favorites

Orchestra Santa Monica closes its 10th Anniversary Season with an exciting program of opera arias and symphonic operatic works.

Richard Strauss' Der Rosenkavalier Suite ("The Cavalier of the Rose”) showcases the magical music highlights of the full opera, a tumultuous and comical love story of princess Marschallin and her young lover Octavian.

The dramatic themes of Verdi's overture La Forza del Destino ("The Power of Fate") evoke the romantic story of Don Alvaro and Leonora as they elope to find love.

Soloists Katherine Polit (soprano), Alejandra Martinez (mezzo-soprano), Nicholas Preston (tenor) and Abdiel Gonzalez (baritone) bring favorite opera arias by Mozart, Verdi, Puccini and Johann Strauss to life.

To celebrate the orchestra's 10th Anniversary, all tickets are free!
