Why not start 2011 with what’s sure to be one of the most exciting classical-music programs of the year? James Levine will lead the Boston Symphony Orchestra in two of the great vocal works of the 20th century: Igor Stravinsky’s mythic Oedipus Rex (in the original Latin), with no less than Frank Langella as the narrator, and Béla Bartók’s haunted Bluebeard’s Castle (in the original Hungarian). Mezzo-soprano Michelle DeYoung sings Jocasta in Oedipus and Judith in Bluebeard, tenor Russell Thomas is Oedipus, and dark-voiced Albert Dohmen will be the brooding Bluebeard (as well as both Creon and the Messenger in Oedipus).

Stravinsky's Oedipus Rex, with Michelle DeYoung [Jocasta], Russell Thomas [Oedipus], Matthew Plenk [Shepherd], Albert Dohmen [Creon, Messenger], Raymond Aceto [Tiresias], and Frank Langella [Narrator]; Bartók's Bluebeard’s Castle, with DeYoung [Judith], Dohmen [Bluebeard], and Örs Kisfaludy [Narrator]
