he 18th and 19th century will fill the air as the Toledo Symphony Orchestra plays inspiring notes from Mendelssohn’s “Scottish” (premiered in 1842), Beethoven’s Egmont Overture (premiered in 1810) and Mozart’s renowned Ballet Music to Idomeneo (premiered in 1781). Inspired by the decay and ruin of the Holyrood Chapel in Edinburgh, Mendelssohn began his Scottish Symphony. The full-scale of Egmont includes an overture followed by nine pieces, reflecting the heroism of the 16th century Count of Egmont. Ballet Music is part of Idomeneo, Mozart’s Italian opera seria, a notable standard in opera performances around the world.
