The story of Scheherazade and the tales she weaves over 1,001 nights to placate a wrathful sultan is so captivating that it set off the imaginations of many brilliant minds, including Rimsky-Korsakov and Ravel. Sumptuous melodies and fantastical soundscapes define Rimsky-Korsakov’s beloved orchestral suite, and Utah Opera regular Wendy Bryn Harmer performs Ravel’s lesser-known and lovely song cycle. This dual exploration is beautifully complemented by Lotta Wennäkoski’s Hava, inspired by music’s ability to examine themes from different angles, much like novels.
