The Riverside Symphony season begins with an ethereally beautiful Mozart gem, followed by the unveiling of Pulitzer Prize-winner Melinda Wagner’s modern response to the Dido tragedy of broken love, with libretto by Stephanie Fleischmann. Benjamin Britten’s stunning, richly inventive early opus concludes this varied program for string orchestra.
