Program Notes

Though he composed in a wide variety of genes, Austrian composer Franz von Suppé (1819-1895) is best known as a creator of Viennese operetta. His operetta Tantalusqualen is a spirited version of a Greek myth portraying the trials of Tantalus, a kingly son of Zeus and the nymph Pluto. This transcription by Dale Grotenhuis captures the lighthearted melodies, playful rhythms, and vivacious flurries that make Suppé’s overtures perennial concert favorites of audiences everywhere!
