Marin Alsop opens the season in the "Twilight of the Gods," ascending skyward for the concluding moments of Wagner's epic "Ring" as the heavens erupt into all-consuming flames. The journey accelerates into space with the percussion-inspired sound world of Daugherty's UFO, a modern counterpart to Holst's greatest masterpiece, The Planets. The program is enhanced by dramatic lighting and theatrical effects.
