Fidelio
With The Florida Orchestra
March 20, 7:30 PM | Mahaffey Theater
March 21, 7:30 PM | Ruth Eckerd Hall
No sets. No costumes. Just music. And it’s more than enough. Michael Francis leads Beethoven’s Fidelio in concert, stripping the opera down to its core. What’s left is raw, direct and incredibly powerful. This is Beethoven at his most human, telling a story about love, courage and the fight for freedom. Featuring The Master Chorale of Tampa Bay and a cast of soloists. In a nutshell: A woman goes undercover to save her husband. Leonore disguises herself as a young man named “Fidelio” to get a job at a prison, where her husband Florestan is being secretly held and left to die by a corrupt official.
Verdi Requiem
With The Florida Orchestra
May 28, 7:30 PM | Straz Center
May 30, 2 PM | Ruth Eckerd Hall
Under the direction of Michael Francis, Verdi’s Requiem becomes a full-body experience. From the very first notes — a hushed, almost fragile prayer — you can sense the scale of what’s coming. And then it hits: the “Dies Irae,” a thunderclap of sound that feels like it shakes the room. Joining the orchestra is the Master Chorale of Tampa Bay, bringing immense emotional weight to Verdi’s towering choral writing.
