LA Phil: Mehta Conducts Wagner & More

January 11, 2020. 8 pm

Highlights from The Twilight of the Gods, followed by early modernist works.

Conductor Zubin Mehta leads an adventurous look at German Romanticism as it develops into the birth of 20th-century music, from the lushness of the full orchestra in Wagner’s final Ring opera to the concentrated brevity of Webern’s nine-instrument concerto. With Christine Goerke, soprano.
