November: Magic & Mayhem

**Night on Bald Mountain**
Modest Moussorgsky
*arr. Rimsky-Korsakov*
**Ballata delle Gnomidi**
Ottorino Respighi
**Symphonie Fantastique**
Hector Berlioz

Every great story begins with a little mystery and a touch of mischief. Seattle Festival Orchestra opens the season with three vivid musical tales: Mussorgsky’s Night on Bald Mountain, where ghostly figures swirl through a stormy night; Respighi’s Ballata delle Gnomidi, a mischievous dance led by gnomes and woodland spirits; and Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique, a sweeping saga of love, longing, and one wildly imaginative dream. Together, these dramatic works invite listeners on a journey where music becomes the storyteller.
