Brilliant Bartók

Thu, Nov 21–Sat, Nov 23, 2024 Roy Thomson Hall

Enter the Hungarian folk-inspired world of Béla Bartók in this live-recorded performance. The ballet score to The Miraculous Mandarin, with its alluring melodies and seductive rhythms, tells a saucy tale of desire and intrigue, while his Concerto for Orchestra is an electrifying display of orchestral brilliance. Plus, a work by TSO Composer Advisor Emilie LeBel depicts the interconnectedness of natural elements and their enduring presence throughout history.

As this performance is being live recorded, we kindly request that our audience remain quiet and attentive throughout. While we appreciate all guests, this environment may not be ideal for young children or individuals who may find it difficult to stay still and quiet for an extended period. Please use your best judgment in deciding if this performance is appropriate for you and your group. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Travel Advisory

We are anticipating an increase in traffic in the area due to the Taylor Swift concerts at Rogers Centre, which could impact your arrival time for your concert. We encourage you to consider taking transit or adding additional travel time to ensure you don’t miss a moment of this concert. Please review the City of Toronto advisory and road closure information.
