KEVIN PUTS The Brightness Of Light | DALLAS PREMIERE
This exceptional weekend of music includes the Dallas Premiere of Pulitzer Prize-winner Kevin Puts’s The Brightness of Light. This impassioned multi-media journey, inspired by letters of the iconic American artist Georgia O’Keeffe to her husband and accomplished photographer Alfred Stieglitz, paints a magnificent musical portrait of life in the American Southwest and features star soprano Renée Fleming and baritone Rod Gilfry.
This program, led by Fabio Luisi, also includes Strauss’s achingly beautiful Metamorphosen. A devastatingly personal rumination on the destruction of his beloved Munich, this memorial to a shattered culture will linger with listeners long after leaving the hall.
