    Making his BSO debut in these concerts, Thomas Adès conducts a thoughtfully conceived program much of which was inspired by Shakespeare’s great play The Tempest. Tchaikovsky’s tone poem by that name, composed in 1875, is one of his several Shakespeare-inspired works. Sibelius’s rarely heard incidental music for the play dates from very late in his compositional life, 1926. Adès’s 2004 opera The Tempest was commissioned and premiered by the Royal Opera, Covent Garden. This selection of scenes features the BSO debuts of Israeli soprano Hila Plitmann, English soprano Kate Royal, and English tenor Toby Spence, along with the return to Symphony Hall of baritone Christopher Maltman. Also making his BSO debut is the English violinist Anthony Marwood, performing Thomas Adès’s acclaimed Violin Concerto, Concentric Paths (2005).
