Chicago Symphony Orchestra Spring Festival

The CSO’s annual three-week spring festival takes a French focus for Reveries and Passions, featuring 20th-century operatic and theatrical works linked by themes of beauty, fantasy and nocturnal darkness, all conducted by Esa-Pekka Salonen. Two operas, Ravel’s one-act L’enfant et les sortilèges and Debussy’s Pelléas et Mélisande, will anchor the festival, which runs from May 3-24.
