Kate’s Classical Corner: Hannibal, Ep. 3.08, “The Great Red Dragon”
As a classical musician, I can’t help but be influenced in my interpretation of Hannibal by its amazing score and soundtrack, composed and compiled by music supervisor Brian Reitzell. This is not intended to be a definitive reading of Reitzell or showrunner Bryan Fuller’s intentions in regards to the music, but rather an exploration of how these choices affect my appreciation of the given episode. Read my review of “The Great Red Dragon” here.
Classical pieces featured:
Alleluia from Exsultate, jubilate, K. 165, by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1773): Hannibal experiences his arrest from his mind palace
This famous movement from Mozart’s solo motet, beautifully performed here by boy soprano Aiden Glenn (the piece was originally composed for a castrato), is a fitting choice to represent how Hannibal elects to experience his arrest and incarceration at the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane.

One of the more anticipated classical concerts this season will take place on Wednesday, March 21, when the Prague Philharmonia and its founder and honorary artistic director, Czech conductor Jiri Belohlavek, bring an exceptionally interesting program to the Bohemian National Hall. They will be performing Mozart's Don Giovanni Overture, Janacek’s Suite for Strings, and Vorisek’s Symphony in D. The Mozart is well known, of course, but the Janacek is a relatively early work of his and the Vorisek -- the main work on the program -- is a masterpiece heard far too rarely in concert halls, especially in the U.S.
It’s worth remembering that most of what is now the Czech Republic, notably the regions Bohemia and Moravia, were for centuries part of the Habsburg Monarchy Aka the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Because of the region’s time behind the Iron Curtain, some Americans may mistakenly consider it...
