Leonard Bernstein's magnum opus is presented here in its fully staged version with the
Austin Symphony's
Peter Bay at the helm. What that means is one glorious juggernaut of a live show, including performances by
Jubilant Sykes as the Celebrant, the ASO,
Conspirare,
Austin Opera,
Ballet Austin,
UT's Marching Band, the
Austin Children’s Choir, the
African Children’s Choir,
Panoramic Voices, guitarist
Mitch Watkins, and surprise guests. This
MASS is, yes, massive – and recommended to high heaven. Hey – you can see our reporter Brenner's
interview with maestro Bay right here.
