Pinchas Zukerman, violin, and Shai Wosner, piano
With a celebrated career spanning five decades, Pinchas Zukerman is admired for the expressive lyricism of his playing, singular beauty of tone, and impeccable musicianship.

Heard in succession, it is fascinating to experience Brahms’s progression through this triptych of violin sonatas—extraordinary masterpieces that occupy their own rarefied worlds of elegant construction, romantic sweep, and exquisite beauty.

The Seasons
You could say Vivaldi had a kind of synesthesia when writing The Four Seasons . What does being cold feel and sound like? MacArthur Award-winning playwright and librettist Sarah Ruhl joins Anthony Roth Costanzo to co-conceive a tapestry of Vivaldi’s music, telling an original story about a world in which the seasons are completely out of order. Tony Award-winning set designer Mimi Lien collaborates with M.I.T. materials technologist Jack Forman to fuse art and science, bringing atmospheric events to the stage. Celebrated choreographer Pam Tanowitz creates a maelstrom of dance, director Zack Winokur helms the production, and Corrado Rovaris conducts the rapturous piece, which stars Costanzo. All tickets are Pick Your Price , starting at $11. Any amount above $11 helps support other operagoers and the work Opera Philadelphia presents on stage. - 2025-12-20📍 Rittenhouse
