Four Sea Interludes and the Organ Symphony
Sun Valley Pavilion 300 Dollar Rd, Sun Valley, Idaho, United StatesBenjamin Britten wrote some gorgeous music to cover the set changes in his popular opera Peter Grimes, and the resulting Four Sea Interludes open this program. They reflect not only physical changes in scene (from land to sea, for example) but also the drama taking place among the opera’s characters. The organ makes an incredibly dramatic entrance in the final movement of Camille Saint-Saёns’s Symphony No. 3, and it’s well worth the wait. The catchy theme that follows might sound familiar, especially if you’ve seen the movie Babe, wherein it supports the little pig’s triumph.
