Among them there's a unique rendition of Vivaldi's The Four Seasons from the ever-inventive Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, a summer edition of Classical Mixtape Live featuring five young classical stars, and an evening of summer opera with Puccini's Madama Butterfly matched with delicious food. Read on to find out how you can see the classical year off in style.
