Casablanca in Concert

Overview

According to film critic Roger Ebert, this timeless story of a man torn between love and virtue is “probably on more lists of the greatest films of all time than any other single title.” Performing Max Steiner’s evocative score and the memorable classic, “As Time Goes By,” the CSO brings this enchanting masterpiece to life.

Ticket holders are invited to a free preconcert conversation featuring Richard Kaufman in Orchestra Hall 75 minutes before the performance. The conversation will last approximately 30 minutes. No additional tickets required.
