On October 26-28, Susan Graham appears at Boston Symphony Hall, where she appears onstage with Charles Dutoit and the BSO for Berlioz’s La Damnation de Faust.
As Marguerite, she is joined by tenor Paul Groves as Faust, baritone David Kravitz as Brander, and bass-baritone John Relyea.
“I’m so sorry that this concert cannot happen; I was so looking forward to opening the Symphony Season – and I know that my disappointment is nothing compared to the traumas and tragedies in Houston at the moment.
Let’s hope we can reschedule and try it again. And let’s hope Houston can recover and rebuild.”
