About
Severance Hall and Northeast Ohio2017-18 was The Cleveland Orchestra's 100th season and Franz Welser-Most's sixteenth year as music director. Highlights included encore performances of Janacek's opera The Cunning Little Vixen, first presented in 2014; this innovative production once again juxtaposed live singers with time-lapsed video imagery and was also presented to acclaim on tour in Vienna, the first time a fully-staged opera had been performed in Vienna's premiere concert hall, the Musikverein. Also opening the season was a special multi-media Education Concert created in collaboration with Cleveland's School of the Arts; that six-month project was tied directly to Franz Welser-Most's season-ending "Prometheus Project" concerts, which explored Beethoven's music as commentary and impetus in advocating for justice and human good tying together regular season programming and education offerings to amplify learning opportunities and connections between the arts and everyday life.For the Centennial, Welser-Most had long advocated that, rather than merely celebrating the Orchestra's illustrious history, the season should focus on commemorating the hometown region that has eagerly supported and enjoyed The Cleveland Orchestra in its first hundred years and acknowledge the synergy and symbiosis between city and orchestra, including the Orchestra's role as ambassador for the community's expectations and excellence in all things. As part of this, a special "Around the Region Tour" was featured throughout the season, with the Orchestra and related ensembles (choruses and youth orchestra) performing far and wide in more than twenty programs experienced by over 25,000 and seen by tens of thousands more statewide via telecast, in collaboration with Cleveland-based ideastream, of the ensemble's 2018 Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration concert in January 2018. The season concluded in late spring with two ambitious multi-concert and multi-week festivals. "The Ecstasy of Tristan and Isolde" was built around in-concert performances of Wagner's history-making opera Tristan and Isolde, alongside two additional concerts that explored music's ability to invoke and involve human transcendence, meditation, and understanding. "The Prometheus Project" ended the season in May, with performances of all of Beethoven's symphonies, plus related works, examined (and heard) through the lens of that epochal composer's political views for human justice and individual/community responsibility. The series of concerts was performed on three continents, with sold-out presentations in Vienna and Tokyo following the inaugural sold-out performances in Cleveland at Severance Hall.Overall, more than 165,000 attended Orchestra concerts at Severance Hall between September 2017 and the end of August 2018, including 31 sold-out presentations. (Another 50,000 attended a wide variety of rental events and performances at Severance Hall.)
