A collage of the three artists. Relyea smolders at the camera against a black background. He has brown hair that's slicked back, gray stubble, and two different colored eyes. Bridges tosses her head back and smiles at the camera against a gold background. She wears a gold off-the-shoulders dress, burgundy lipstick, and long braids. Phan softly smiles at the camera against a black background. He has short, dark hair, stubble, and light brown eyes, and he wears a bright blue suit. — From left: John Relyea, J'Nai Bridges, Nicholas Phan

To close the 2023-2024 Boston Symphony season, Andris Nelsons leads one of Hector Berlioz’s most beloved works, Roméo et Juliette. Berlioz described his the piece as a “symphony with choruses,” with the title characters represented both in the orchestra and through the vocal soloists.
