For its 2022-23 season, the Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra has programmed a few favorite dramas. The ensemble will bring the 1931 version of "Frankenstein" to life with a score written for it decades later. And the orchestra will present a semi-staged production of Ludwig van Beethoven's opera "Fidelio."

Among the guest artists are a few Indiana has seen before, including Hoosier conductor Kazem Abdullah and violinist Bella Hristova, a 2006 International Violin Competition of Indianapolis laureate.

Seven-concert, full-season subscriptions (starting at $210), four-ticket Chamber Choice packs (starting at $120) and two-ticket Duet Packs (starting at $65) are now on sale. For more information, visit icomusic.org, call 317-940-9607 or email info@icomusic.org.
