Summary
Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla conducts the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and a large cast in a performance of Weinberg’s Auschwitz-set opera, The Passenger, at Symphony Hall.
Why it's fantastic
Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla returns to lead this haunting operatic masterpiece, which lay unperformed for decades due to its unflinching look at life and memory after the Holocaust. The score weaves together folk melodies and jazz within a powerful story of two women confronting their shared past on an ocean liner.
