SYNOPSIS:
If there’s one classical masterpiece everyone should experience live, it’s Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9. From its mysterious opening to its thrilling finale, the piece builds toward a powerful celebration of humanity and hope with “Ode to Joy,” as the orchestra, chorus, and soloists unite in one of the most recognizable melodies ever written.

Now imagine hearing it beneath the open skies and surrounded by the Wasatch Mountains, performed by the extraordinary musicians of the Utah Symphony, Utah Symphony Chorus, and vocal soloists under the baton of Music Director Designate Markus Poschner—an internationally acclaimed interpreter of Beethoven. It’s a monumental work and an unforgettable way to open our summer season.

Tarps are not permitted on the hill in order to protect the grass.

Outside chairs can be brought in and used anywhere in the General Admission section, but must be low chairs that are no higher than 11” from the base of the chair to the ground. Chairs are measured upon entrance, and those that do not meet the height restrictions will not be allowed into the venue.
