2/18/2010 Patrick Performs With Chicago Symphony This Week

Patrick Stewart will be performing with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and SFO's conductor Michael Tilson Thomas in Igor Stravinsky's Oedipus Rex on February 18-21, 2010 @ Symphony Center in Chicago. Stravinsky's compelling opera-oratorio Oedipus Rex is widely regarded as the pinnacle of his neoclassical period. Narrated by Sir Patrick Stewart and a traditional Greek chorus, the story of this doomed protagonist and the awful truth about his past are heightened by Stravinsky's monumental and provocative score.
