The mysteries of the afterlife are explored in this adaptation of Dante’s literary classic, The Divine Comedy. After the dramatic Prologue, the show gets off to a fiery start with Inferno. Following Inferno, the band enters Purgatorio, a contemplative moment featuring Edvard Grieg's Funeral March. Finally, the ensemble makes a daring escape atop the mountain, arriving at Paradiso.
