Tchaikovsky Spectacular

Philadelphia Orchestra Principal Guest Conductor Marin Alsop returns to SPAC for the first time since 2017 leading the Orchestra in a dazzling evening of Tchaikovsky featuring the 1812 Overture with live cannon fire and a brilliant fireworks display. Philadelphia Orchestra Principal Cello Hai-Ye Ni performs Tchaikovsky’s beautiful and elegant Variations on a Rococo Theme, inspired by the composer’s love for Mozart. And the Hamlet Overture, originally conceived as incidental music to Shakespeare’s play, receives its SPAC premiere.
