This storybook program opens with Beethoven’s incisive take on the Prometheus myth and musical highlights from Humperdinck’s fairy-tale adventure, Hansel and Gretel. In Strauss’ fantastical Don Quixote, Principal Cello John Sharp embodies the befuddled “Man of La Mancha” with Principal Viola Teng Li as his loyal squire, Sancho Panza, as they take on windmills, sorcerers and bleating sheep.
