All The World’s A Stage

Saturday, October 3, 2026, 3:00 pm, Dick Van Dyke Auditorium (DHS)

Join the DSO as the curtain rises on our 2026-27 season! With music spanning from opera to ballet to musical theater, there is something for everyone in this concert that celebrates the stage. Experience the majesty and drama of Giuseppe Verdi’s overture to opera Nabucco, and be transported to the beautiful palaces, fountains, and gardens of Spain by guitar soloist Guido Sanchez-Portuguez in Joaquin Rodrigo’s gorgeous Concierto de Aranjuez. Hear the gritty drama and black humor of Stephen Sondheim’s Tony-award winning Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street Suite come to life in a symphonic telling, and end the afternoon basking in the colorful sounds and sights of Manuel de Falla’s comical and exuberant ballet El Sombrero de Tres Picos (The Three-Cornered Hat).
