What does Dalí have to do with Wagner and de Falla? Did you know that Dalí designed sets and costumes for ballet? He is credited with designing more than 20 productions, most prolifically from about 1938 to 1944. “The Dalí Experience” program came together over a conversation between TFO’s Music Director, Michael Francis, and The Dalí Museum’s Executive Director, Dr. Hank Hine. The image 52 THE FLORIDA ORCHESTRA | 2016-2017 below is typical of the kind of backdrops Dalí contributed to productions at The Metropolitan Opera House in New York. Dalí Museum staff will join Michael Francis during each pre-concert lecture on March 3, 4, and 5 to discuss the connections between Dalí and the program.
