The Best of French Arts Are Yours for One Glittering Evening at the Schuster!

Dayton Opera kicks off the new season with a spectacular that pays homage to the artistic heritage of France. The powerful forces of all three art forms will honor the great French composers who have written some of the most exquisite music ever.
Vocalists from Dayton Opera perform excerpts from magnificent French operatic works such as Saint-Saëns’ Samson and Delilah and Gounod’sFaust.
Dayton Philharmonic electrifies the audience with orchestral excerpts from the most beloved French composers, including Berlioz, Massenet, Debussy, and Ravel.
And Dayton Ballet will take the stage alongside Dayton’s finest musicians and singers to dance to the great French music that moves the soul, including a first-half finale fantastique—the famous “Bacchanale” fromSamson and Delilah.
