Three tales of doomed love from Verdi’s opera La Forza del Destino, Wagner’s opera Tristan und Isolde, and Tchaikovsky’s symphonic poem Francesca da Rimini will be performed alongside Mahler’s Funeral Rite, the first movement of his Second Symphony in which a man in his grave questions his life and what lies ahead.
